Arysyn Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I really wonder how T-mobile has band 4 @ 20 mhz across el paso and still it has congested in most areas. Is the network not dense enough maybe?? Or is T-mobile growth in this market really just that much Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Here in Chicago. T-Mobile is quite congested, despite supposedly having plenty of towers. However, the T-Mobile has such very limited amount of spectrum around. A carrier really needs both. Sprint is the opposite with plenty of spectrum, but not enough towers. Verizon is having both issues and needs to correct this before they begin losing business their highly rated network status for this area. Meanwhile, even though I'm unaware of how many towers AT&T has around here, the network quality is excellent. One thing is for certain, is that AT&T has plenty of spectrum here. 10x10 lowband spectrum, 10x10 AWS-1 spectrum, 10x10 AWS-3 spectrum, 10x10 PCS spectrum, and 10x10 WCS spectrum.

Trip Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 In pop's yes In square miles no Sent from my SM-G928P using Tapatalk Unless there are huge areas where T-Mobile has service and Verizon does not that I'm not aware of, I don't buy it. Most of the state of West Virginia (outside of the panhandle) has zero T-Mobile service, for example. Where is the area of T-Mobile service without Verizon service that counter-balances that? That's about a million by itself and doesn't include the other rural areas where Verizon has service and T-Mobile does not. - Trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ascertion Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 How can you tell if you are connected to 4x4 mimo? This is a good question. I can't seem to figure it out in the hidden dialer menu on my S7. Maybe there will be a better indicator on newer devices as they come out.

tyroned3222 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I hope you all are prepared for more congestion! As we all know, the holiday season is coming and it looks like in Q4 tmobile might report it's biggest growth in company history. I see a few markets already tapping out on spectrum and more markets are opening more bandwith to make up for congestion, but customer growth at this rate will be hard for tmobile to keep up with. If you guys know about anymore movement that T-Mobile is currently making in your market perhaps to lift congestion.. let us know !

There's congestion anywhere there is a large mass of people. In my market, they are in the throws of adding L1900 and L700 layers, and there are at least 3 new colocations in the metro in the works currently. Not to mention the current modernization is bringing AWS-3 capabilities with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irev210 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 Anyone see that t-mobile deal? two free lines for current and new customers... I know someone that was an existing t-mobile subscriber, went to the T-Mobile store and got an 18gb tablet plan and an unlimited phone plan for zero dollars. Pretty crazy. T-Mobile is being very aggressive with promotions. Going to be a good Q4 for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems the max amount of data they can get on a tablet is 18gb though, not unlimited like the phone lines. I think binge on applies to tablets as well, so tough to say how you would go over 18gb. It really is an insane deal. Props to t-mobile for being very aggressive with pricing this holiday season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can keep the promotional pricing as long as you maintain qualifying service and stay on your current plan. If you cancel service on any of your lines or change plans, you will lose the monthly bill credits. Or until T-Mobile changes its mind, goes out of business, merges with Sprint, takes over the world, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
