So right before the merger was complete or right afterwards I was able to connect to all the T-Mobile bands on my Note 10+.  It was great because even though I have a Magic Box, if I go toward the interior of my work building it would connect to Spring Band 25 but the data and connection was absolutely useless.  Since I have been able to connect to T-Mobile the interior parts of the building would connect to 1 of 3 different bands of T-mobile and give me good enough service to use data in the interior.  About a month or so ago, I don't know if there was a profile or PRL change but now my phone will not connect to the T-Mobile bands at work.  It will sit on that crappy Band 25 connection for a minute or so then go "no service" and then finally reconnect to 3G which is useless also.  It's almost as if they turned off the capability of using T-Moblie towers around my work area.  Unfortunately everywhere else I go gets good enough Sprint signal that it will never connect to a T-mobile tower so I can see if it is just my work area or my phone that has issues.

I have even network reset my phone where it goes through the initial provisioning and hands-free activation and that has not helped either.  Obviously I have done PRL and profile updates that didn't help either.   I'm in the Atlanta/Decatur, GA area for my work.  Anyone else notice this?

I'm also seeing this here.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
