T-Mobile Says LTE Footprint Now Matches Sprint
Here's a quarter call...
Now that both are giving people what they want, and requested, people are still quick to shame them for expanding rural coverage. Sure it may not be as big as AT&T (which by the way, isn't all that big in rural areas either), or Verizon, but they are getting there.

None of the carriers are perfect by far. I've worked for AT&T and had their service but I also have had Verizon(my current provider), and even Sprint at 1 lowly connected point. I have friends who have Tmo...
