T-Mobile Touts Network Milestones

Dec 23, 2015, 11:56 AM by Eric M. Zeman

T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray took to the company's blog today to share news of the Uncarrier's LTE network. The company says its LTE 4G footprint grew by almost 1 million square miles during 2015 and is available to 304 million Americans. Moreover, its 700MHz spectrum ("Extended Range LTE") is up and running in 300 markets, including recent additions Seattle, Cincinnati, and New York City. The company is already putting carrier aggregation to use to help boost speeds, and it plans to move to tri-band carrier aggregation and deploy 4X4 MIMO in 2016. T-Mobile says it will participate "aggressively" in the upcoming 600MHz spectrum auction as it continues to build out coverage and improve performance of its network.

Even if TMobile Had the Fastest, Largest, and Most Reliable 4G...

...Their basic cellular coverage still sucks. If I have a flat tire in Hooterville, I wouldn't care how much better their data is compared to a carrier that actually covers me with basic service.

THE MAIN PURPOSE OF ANY CELLPHONE IS TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY CONNECTIVITY WHERE IT'S NEEDED MOST. I have WiFi at home that is super fast and unlimited.

Still sucks across my entire state

Maybe TMobile is making their LTE service better in larger cities, but where I live, looking at their own coverage maps, it tells me there is either "Partner - no prepaid" or non-lte service in a vast majority of the area that I live and travel. In fact, 3/4ths of the state doesn't have native coverage.

1. What state do you live and travel?
2. Are you a T-Mobile user?

Because if you aren't a Tmobile user, then you're just here to complain about something you dont even use, which is asinine. If you are a T-Mobile user, perhaps you should switch to...
