The days of bad T-mo coverage are numbered

Just wait for them to deploy the 700Mhz spectrum they purchased from Verizon, and hopefully they will bid on / win some 600Mhz spectrum as well. Many phones that are being released already support LTE 700 for that spectrum as well.

Yeah, I'm still waiting on them to get rid of the EDGE coverage in the suburban areas. TMO is solid inside my city and its suburbs, but once you hit the rural areas you're back on 2G, even on the major interstates, which is useless for GPS and navigation.

I haven't been able to find a phone yet that supports LTE on band class 12 (Lower A Block [the specific block of the 700Mhz band that T-Mobile purchased from VZW]). None of the iPhones support it. GS5 doesn't. T-mobile says Q4 before they have phones that support BC12. Sprint says they will support it in the future (along with BC5) USCC was quoted earlier this year as lamenting the fact that phones were not being released with BC12 support. I'm finding just the opposite from what you have stated.

Which phones currently support BC12? I'd like to get a jump on having a phone that won't be obsolete...

I was wrong - every single phone I looked at was Band 17, not 12. Sorry if I got your hopes up. This does surprise me, however.

How about they learn how to build out a good network with the spectrum they already have. If Sprint, Verizon, & AT&T can do it, then why is T-Mobile having that much trouble building out a network that will work for most people? Out of all carriers in my area, only T-Mobile has not done a good job at building a good network. It seems that they're not really trying anymore, since Deutsche Telekom has been trying to dump them for a few years now with no luck. I wish there was someone who is serious about having a good network, that they would buy it from Deutsche Telekom.

Same arguement has been said about the other carriers in others areas by other customers, you don't like the service you had a trial period to test it out. You have the option to cancel and move on, suck it up pay your cancelation fees or any other fees for the service YOU chose to keep and get a service that works for you. No carrier can absolutely 100% guarantee service everywhere no matter what the store reps tell you. Do your research before committing to something don't rely on others to do it for you.........ok rant over now thank you so much.
