Wow, you nailed that!

It is humorous, all things aside. Verizon and AT&T's coverage maps are bad as it is, but I don't know how T-Mobile can legally get away with their coverage map. Hopefully there will eventually be an investigation and standards that could even force VZW and AT&T to use more realistic algorithms, but I tend to believe that's a pipe dream.

T-Mobile has a faster upload speed. Also with their upcoming Extra Wide Super Speed Strong Extended Band LTE+, they'll easily beat that download speed. Therefore, you're a Sprint troll.

That doesn't make Verizon superior in any way shape or form. Being the only carrier without a proper deprioritization policy (for at least unlimited users), VZW can and will feel the heat in and outside of the seemingly good looking urban areas. T-Mobile was forced to deploy a deprioritization policy. It was found to help. The magentans and press OK'd it because it was T-Mobile. AT&T finally deployed a realistic 22GB policy for their remaining postpaid unlimited users, and they throttle only at congested towers. That was good, but all the VZW and T-Mobile fanboys slandered it. Likewise, at least some here awaited and were happy to hear Sprint implemented a deprioritization policy. It will surely help the performance of the current Sprint network as NV upgrades are finishing (on time) and the coming wave of NGN improvements begin. And of course, the opposing fanboys slandered it. At least I do not want to see the removal of this policy from Sprint, or from any of the 3 carriers intelligent enough to deploy and maintain this common sense policy. Even if NGN were to make Sprint practically the second biggest, it should be here to stay. If one needs more than 23GB without any possible stipulations, then seriously find a different means.

Verizon is exempt from all common sense and reasoning. Didn't you know? Even Magentans sometimes defend them. Speaking of spite, it's funny how that actually works: "F#&k you (insert carrier here), I'm going to Verizon!" Said carrier: Ha! One less person hogging my deployed spectrum for the upcoming customers!

What is your definition of great data performance? With an average of just over 13 down, there is nothing you can't do. There is nothing okay or bad about 13 down. More like an average of 4 down is okay, and 2 down is bad...

http://www.rootmetrics.com/us/rsr/orlando-fl/2015/2H Sprint's doing good in Orlando, technically tied with AT&T and beating them slightly overall and calling. One carrier is steadily declining and offers the worst overall, calling, and texting experience.

Excuse my humor...

Or maybe someone in the mix is a secret VZW user.

A good caption for the picture (minus the anecdotal bad pings) could be: "the future of wireless"

I don't comment on FW to begin with, but now there's a "mandate" to not post at all. I found that hilarious.

And VZW hasn't made an effort to at least densify in your area? How long has it been overloaded? VZW users I know think it's normal and their "phone is acting up". The best is "we don't get data here". A Sprint or AT&T user can pull out their phone and laugh. And hell, even close enough to highways or random main roads and outside of the wrong buildings so can a T-Mobile user half the time. But, whatever VZW does is ok.

Err, I think I was going for precisely.

Seriously. Why are people so obsessed over 600MHz? Magentans think T-Mobile can have the whole continent blanketed with it by late 2016 to 2017 or something, when it is a long ways away from even being able to be used, let alone getting deployed after the auction even happens whenever it does.

Preciously. It's very good to see Sprint is confident they can use what they have. Let the people blinded by the media bs get all frustrated over this. And to others: B41 is good and all, but that's for urban areas and the congested parts of suburban areas. That should continue and it's great. However, for everyone here not in cities, I hope Sprint puts plenty of emphasis on filling roaming gaps and extending the borders of their native coverage with B26 and making sure all low-band is optimized and adjusted promptly. Otherwise, things are looking good.

We ask it in Sprint's name, AMEN! And we don't judge! Free WiFi for the T-Mobile users! We know you were trying to hang to that bar of GPRS on the way here Oooh, the pope might have good taste in cell service too? Awesome!

T-Mobile has better "performance" than AT&T and Sprint? And better plans, including Verizon, on this test? In others words, they're saying Sprint has the 2nd worst plans and the worst performance. And phone selection. AT&T gets best, but that's strange. They shouldn't be last, but Sprint and Verizon should get better scores being Sprint is notorious for having a good selection, and Verizon technically has exclusive Android phones like the Droid line. None of it makes any sense, so it begs the question: who the heck is Tom?

Uh, well it will be interesting to see how AT&T does, along with the others this quarter. But I think they will bounce around in many cities for the next year to year and a half. It's kinda in the hands of how WCS gets deployed. However for suburban, exurban and semirural areas, things are quite the opposite and are doing great. Regarding T-Mobile, it seems at this pace AT&T will end up having more mid-band than T-Mobile has coverage in certain suburban and rural areas, so for cities that's one thing for sure, but as a whole, not really. B12 areas are the only exception, and like B12 phones, they're quite numbered. I don't have much hope for T-Mobile outside of their city frenzy. I'm more worried that Sprint keeps the balance and doesn't forget the suburban areas after they improve in the cities. I'm sure they'll do fine.

I noticed that fine print which is great entertainment because T-Mobile has lots of it. T-Mobile was formally touted by their clueless fanboys as having "no strings attached" and now that is absolutely untrue in every regard possible. In fact, not only does every new thing they do get rightfully called out, it just gets worse and worse.

I have to agree, they should be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It'd be awesome to see industry-wide standards that force all carriers to use at least somewhat realistic and reasonable metrics and algorithms for portraying their coverage.

That's right, the whole country will be full of magenta love. They won't need any towers in PR where you are, because it'll just travel across the sea. That will cover entire (sizable) counties, states even. Who are you kidding, they'll be covering the whole continent by #EOY2016. The whole world by 2020. They could start covering alternative life forms on other planets if the FCC would give them the spectrum!

Speaking of champions and rockstars: http://www.adweek.com/agencyspy/publicis-t-mobile-want-you-to-think-again/93735 Divorced From Reality™ I simply cannot believe they are seriously still going after Verizon. Just, not a good move.
