T-Mobile Updates Coverage Map with Customer Data
Honesty. Thank you.
I just took a quick look. This is awesome.
The others may not want to do it because they might not look so good.

I work for AT&T and we have a tool called GeoLink that does this exact thing already. Granted, it's not a tool the public can use, but it does show signal strength as reported by the devices.

At least in my area, T-Mobile/Voicestream has always had more accurate maps than others. I checked it in several areas, and the map's depiction of varied signal strength was accurate within probably 100 feet.

If you think this is honest, I hate to tell you this is no where near the truth. I have Verizon and my friend has Tmobile, when he comes to my town he's lucky to have 1 bar of 3G but this map shows strong LTE all around my area, hell even sprint has ...

Taken a turn toward the worst...
Some of you may remember my previous rant here, about when AT&T took this approach toward this coverage maps: https://www.phonescoop.com/articles/discuss.p hp?fm=m&ff=14549&fi=3282714
While AT&T doesn't show the "verified coverage" gimmick, their public-facing coverage maps basically resemble the same rendering engine that T-Mobile's does. It's a paint-can approach to drawing the maps.
I actually preferred T-Mobile's previous generation of coverage viewer. Now, they've basically given their maps a binary "signal vs no signal" approach, whereas on the old ones you could tell the general locations of their cell site placement and get an exact estimate of the coverage in your location.

No need to tell you that the key to marketing, is to get as many people to believe in something and turn it into a sale.

Nice but........
if I had a dollar for every-time when I had T-Mobile and the network went to 2G or EDGE even when in a what was supposed to be 3G or LTE I could buy the company.
Unless this is recent it's old news. Most of the old LTE holes have been filled. I 75 from S. Florida to Bay City, MI is nearly all LTE at this point with just a couple of rural spots with Edge.
