> 3+ hours downtime after earthquake.
In DC, all the services were down for about that long.
T-Mobile's coverage in DC is indeed quite spotty: at GMU where I work it's quite good. But at my home in Alexandria, it's far from hot.
But for me, there is one reason I use T-Mobile. The Nexus S. An unlocked, no-provider-junk, Google-updated phone which is updated 6 months before other phones and which has 3G support in Europe. [The last bit knocks out AT&T and Sprint's version of the phone, and it's a big deal for me]. Just wish T-Mobile would permit UMA on the phone.
- tsuraan 15y agoThe biggest reason I like t-mobile is the wifi hotspot; no matter how spotty their coverage is in an area, if you have wifi coverage, you have t-mobile coverage. At my parents' place in the mountains near aspen, or my girlfriend's mom's place in the desert outside sedona, there is no cell phone coverage by any provider, but as long as I have wifi, I can make calls. It goes a long way towards making up for their smaller network.
