For the first time in 11 years I'm thinking of switching off T-Mobile after relocating to Chicago. Much of my day is spent in the loop and despite their best claims buildings are a bane.
Can anyone recommend a carrier with better QOS here or is this just inherent to my new life in a giant city? I'll get over it and adapt, just keeping my options open.
- vinay427 8y agoThe GP was referring to a problem with GPS, not their cellular connection. In any case, I haven't noticed any issues with T-mobile in San Francisco, so maybe T-mobile has some weaknesses unique to the Chicago area.
- r00fus 8y agoLast time in Chi-town (2016) I had the best signal of the bunch with my TMO (others mostly on ATT/VZ). Of course, over-subscription is a thing, so maybe things degraded?
- dvtrn 8y agoI'm fully aware but in the context of GPS reception on cellular devices--prompting me to ask what I thought was a tangential question. Apologies that this was such a severe faux pas to end up downvoted into the negatives.
- selectodude 8y agoVerizon, unfortunately. Though a lot of the issue isn't signal but bandwidth. There are just too many people. You'll have five bars and nothing will load. That's what caused me to leave T-Mobile.
- abqader 8y agoIn Chicago, ATT is one of the better ones. It works reliably in the loop as well. Just read the fine print carefully for those extra charges.
