    T-Mobile LTE & Network Discussion V2

    in General Topics

    Posted

    As a T-Mobile network user I am concerned.  As a computer consultant I think it is good.  From a T-Mobile business standpoint it may help justify more rural sites and puts cable companies on the defensive.
    Personally I would always recommend that your ISP and cell phone carrier should be different, since most people do not have different ISPs.  That way if one goes down you can still communicate with the outside world (in everyday situations).
    Yeah I do use T-Mobile as well. I don't know if I would ever use T-Mobile's home internet at all. I get pretty good speeds from Comcast. They're a bit more expensive but they work pretty well and they have a reliability rate of about 99% here. There's only been a couple of times where they were having a problem here. And I do think in my own personal opinion in my area T-Mobile would have to densify dramatically in order to provide such a service. During rush hour at times their network crawls. so I agree with you as a T-Mobile user I would be worried.

    I could see this varying by area and point in the implementation cycle.  I could also see people thinking that Sprint roaming on T-Mobile equals what a T-Mobile customer would get, which is always a dangerous assumption when roaming on any carrier.
    And how do you feel about T-Mobile's home internet program?

    More than what I've got here. 10x10 band 2 that's deployed as 5x5. Non-contiguous 10x10 band 66 that's deployed as 5x5. 5x5 band 12. 20x20 band 71 that's deployed as 5x5. Gives me a grand total of 20x20 for LTE.
    Well for over here. It's a total of 55 megahertz.

    They only have 10x10 600MHz in your area? Wow. Prepare for some of the worst 5G speeds you have ever seen lol. My area is 20x20. They just dropped L600 from 10x10 to 5x5 so it should be 5x5 LTE and 15x15 5G NR.
    Yeah but that's only for band 71 and band 12 is a 5x5 carrier. But they have 20x20 PCS and then another 20x20 band four and band 66. But still that's not enough T-Mobile really skimped out over here.

    The downgrade from 10x10 to 5x5 on b71 makes sense now with the 600MHz 5G-that's-the-same-speed-as-4G-so-it's-not-really-5G 5G announcement. 
    well still though until they can get 5G deployed and densified and rolled out across the country they should really increase it to a 10 by 10 chunk instead of just leaving it at 5

    Just for kicks, I looked at a log copy from a few days ago.  Filtering on the 311490 PLMN, I have 193 rows total.  I have no rows for T-Mobile B71, but my LG G6 does not support Band 71.  I have 10 rows for T-Mobile B12, eight of which were in western Maryland near Frostburg.  The other two were momentary connections at the hospital near here and in New Jersey.

    What does it mean to be liberal with roaming on cell phone carriers?

    AT&T roaming as soon as you leave town or get off a major highway. In town the coverage is good but the data speeds suck. 
    I can understand that. In Delaware when I go during the winter and the summer as soon as you get off the beaten path the coverage does suck a bit but it's gotten better. I'm not going to say it doesn't need improvement because it drastically does but it's gotten a little better.
