Can't be any worse than Sprint's coverage. You can thank Sprint for putting the US on a technology course that went against the rest of the world. Sprint initially was GSM back in like 1995 in Washington, DC, but switched to CDMA and the rest is history. Then Verizon jumped on the bandwagon and all the small carriers as well. Now the US is playing catch up with the rest of the world getting on the same standard. Anyway, Sprint's coverage has been sub-par for two decades now, so anything is an improvement for Ting. 😉

Because T-mobile's coverage map is actually the most honest of all the other carriers. When AT&T and Verizon and Sprint simply used the dumped paint can model on their coverage maps, T-Mo actually uses real-world estimations of cell site placement and signal propagation to draw their maps. I've verified dozens of places that AT&T states they have LTE, yet the quad-band LTE device shows "4G" and speed tests show 3G speeds at best, and Sprint 800/1900 LTE devices show 1X data or 3G at best. Verizon is also a pretty bad offender with the paint can model, but they can be since most of their network has been LTE for quite a while now.
Kudos to T-Mobile and I hope they keep it this way. They are the LEAST EVIL of the big 4 USA mobile corporat...

Exactly. Most people like being lied to. They enjoy being kept in the dark. That way they can concentrate on football or their drama TV shows. Sprint's coverage is among the worst, but the writer thinks T-Mo is, because they use a realistic coverage map. I wouldn't have Sprint if you paid me. I agree T-Mobile is the least bad of the big 4.

T-Mo is far far from the lesser of the 3 evils. If anything sprint is the least of the three evils.
Sprint still uses the highest available sound codecs by default on their network. And T-Mo is the only carrier that still has restrictions on controlled accounts!
