This! Asking for throttling over overages is just another extreme. Some people will pay the overages and not care. They may be a minority, but give people the choice. Others would indeed prefer the throttling route to save money and never have to worry about getting overages while still receiving service. There is no use swinging to either extreme for postpaid. T-Mobile still sells buckets for you to buy after you go over (or to add to your current plan), so your 3rd and 4th points are extraordinary important.

I think they all respond to RootMetrics results in one way or another. I'm glad to see RootMetrics is digging deeper to include Venues, Transit Stations and Campus'.

No. And so people in Austin should man up, vote with their feet, and leave. So for not doing so, remaining AT&T users deserve that. One market (although bigger ones can hurt a lot) doesn't change the entire impression for a carrier, it simply doesn't help compliment their overall image. It sucks your employer uses them if they are not good where you are and work. I hope that changes. However, I almost never hear people admitting Verizon sucks where they do, and there's a lot of apologists not admitting the ugly side of T-Mobile either. That's my problem. Yeah, AT&T does suck in some areas, but that's not my point. And so do the other 3 if you find the right area of the right market. That's still not my point, lol.

Not that AT&T doesn't deserve it. There are, however, plenty of markets AT&T beats Verizon and competes with or beats Sprint (for the time being), and it's improving all over. They just aren't always consistent and aggressive enough for some. Coupled with several sour markets like Denver, and AT&T lacks Verizon's libido for using spectrum quick enough. I'm not rooting for them, but I'm interested in how AT&T will fare in the future. They have the capacity to hurt Verizon in a lot of markets and compete with Sprint when they rise. But, the question is how will that go with their mess of spectrum, priorities and decisions.
-
Not really. If one doesn't want overages, has AT&T got a deal for you on Cricket or GoPhone. Who the hell wants T-Mobile over that? Unless you're in markets like Vegas or Denver. (Edit: This doesn't apply to people who require postpaid benefits) On the other side, they have some of the most abusive unlimited users continuously running speedtests and gulping gigabyte after gigabyte. Don't forget throttling (deprioritization). Also, unlimited is not in the future. No to most of what T-Mobile does. Where will their network be in a few years? How much more can they do in the meantime while it buckles all over the place and still doesn't exist in others? They've already failed to meet their mid-year goal and are still urban-centric as opposed to Sprint who is improving their entire network and has massive work ongoing and ahead of them.

Well that's indeed my underlying point. It is dangerously stupid ignorance that pollutes social media for years on end until it clears up and perceptions finally start to change. Everyone thinks that T-Mobile (and Verizon) are the shit because they're good in their particular town/area. But once people venture outside of concrete jungle land or once people travel throughout the country or out of their market, the true colors of those two being just as inconsistent and non-perfect as AT&T and Sprint shine right in their faces. The difference is, outside of your points too, Sprint's work has been plain obvious and non-stop and they absolutely no longer suck on average or any of this crap that's been spewed on social media, and AT&T is not buckling nationwide, nor dissatisfying their many customers, like many idiots have incorrectly stated. In fact in their better markets they shine. People are free to leave any one of the 4 carriers if they have such a problem and it's common sense to choose based on your situation and needs. So, it all goes back to there being no one solid nationwide carrier. We just know the technical amount of coverage in chronological order (VZW, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile), but it doesn't mean much to anyone individually. It is and always will be area dependent.

T-Mobile can just do no wrong in their happy land (nor Verizon for some of them, lol...)

Delusional jealously. "She" has been spanked by DollarsnSense, John Connor, "Exodus" and many others alike many times over. Compare the two briefly. AJ has years of experience (with fact, not trolling), factual arguments and even geographical knowledge. He has no need to deflect and launch ad hominem attacks, and even compliments some posts with humor. This is coupled with actual experience, not anecdotal "I get service in my apartment, city, and local highways, so if I can find 10 other people that agree with me I'm right" experience. Sounds like a man vs a schoolgirl. Basically, he is better in every regard than "her". Nor do I believe he, like others here, lives his life waking up every day worrying about doing damage control for a cellular carrier to fill a sorry-ass ego quota. So yeah, if I had thousands of useless, unaccredited posts under a fake name, pretending to possess authenticity and authority, fighting tooth and nail for a long lost non-cause, I'd probably have penis envy of my superiors too.

And I hope all young boring, generic, big city-obsessed hipsters do take your advise. This way, the rest of the country will be open to people who have taste and prefer the simpler things in their everyday life like actual suburbia that hasn't just been built last-second with zero planning, non-congested roads and highways, access to desirable chains and stores instead of ones the local politicians deem appropriate, and away from the absolutely maniacal politics in bigger states like NY, California, Massachusetts and Illinois. Or cities that cost a mere fraction of living in simply the suburbia and even commuter towns of grossly overpriced states like NY. Oh, and don't get me started about the nation's award-winning worst roads and longest commute times. I can't wait to escape the Northeast. If anyone has any more good areas down South and Midwest to share for me to look into, feel free to let me know

Indeed. However, I'd be satisfied if it at least covered the flagships like Samsung Galaxy S6, HTC M9, LG G4. That covers far more ground. They came, they saw, they conquered.

If you have a spare GSM phone, I'd do that. I don't know why everyone is so confident in Verizon and appalled by AT&T... it really does depend not just by the market but often by town. My only piece of advice is don't choose service based on LTE prevalence, because unless VZW's LTE is actually good and not too sparse, you're just wasting your money/time. That's the issue I have with T-Mobile -- excuses and then a deal breaker. I can't even bother because I have to make more excuses after I try to get over having inadequate 2G/no service that 3 carriers do have in numerous areas, much for over a decade ffs. No thanks!

No, those are rural areas. T-Mobile subsequently only covers the highways there. There's no such thing as suburbs. Therefore, it is perfectly logical that T-Mobile continually disregards these areas, as no one lives there, in the rural, but farmers and cows. Intermediate highway LTE and EDGE coverage is very quality UnService. I like the deviation in my voice quality; it spices up my phone conversations in between the dropped calls. -- I think that makes about as much sense as their (continually UnFulfilled) promises.
