Is it easy to put back together in a way where they wouldn't know that you look it apart?

It depends on the device, and what the carrier_policy file from the ROM dictates. On devices still receiving updates, they'll probably enable it. Older ones not. For example, the Pixel 1 has b41 disabled entirely with a T-mobile SIM. No way to enable it without a software update, which won't come. On newer devices, they typically leave all bands enabled, but limit the carrier aggregation combos that a device will use/report based on the SIM and PLMN. Since T-mobile didn't use B41 before, they probably don't enable those CA combos. But they should get enabled with an Android update for the device at some point. They still don't have all the CA combos correct on my Pixel 4 XL, but thankfully I can enable them all with EFS Explorer until then. The reason why they limit CA combos reported by the device is because the LTE signaling message where the device reports it's capabilities has a max size. With modern devices, the number of supported combos exceeds the message size, and gets truncated, resulting in your device potentially not using supported combos on the network. So instead they limit the device to report only a subset of combos based on the PLMN. The downside to this is if a new band is deployed, the devices needs a software update to enable it for that PLMN.

That's very good. I'm glad to see T-Mobile building out there coverage. I have T-Mobile they have tremendously improved their LTE coverage in my area along with fringe coverage performance. Hope to see more improvements. -
Ok update with in the last couple days (while I’m isolation) I have noticed while on my home tower (Fashion Square Mall less than 1/4 mile from my apartment) it has gone back to normal with 200+ upload and 60+ upload.

Speaking of strange setups, found this out in Bushwick. No idea what that little antenna is.
