Since I don't post on Reddit anymore, I feel as if I have nowhere else to post this.
I used to be a near-lifelong T-Mobile US customer. My family started on T-Mobile via Omnipoint in NYC.
When we moved to Houston two and a half years ago, the coverage here was absolutely garbage. Trying to find signal anywhere was a pain, and cellular often didn't work in our house.
So we switched to AT&T, and I deleted my account with TMUS thinking that I wouldn't look back.
I was wrong.
After yet another string of bad service and slow 5G, I decided to give T-Mobile another try. It is leaps and bounds better. It's almost as if I'm using another carrier. 5G especially.
I never had working 5G before and largely thought it to be a gimmick, until I started using T-Mobile 5G Ultra Capacity. At one place, I had bandwidth over cell that was as fast as my gigabit Wi-Fi mesh at home. Insane speeds.
And it wasn't limited that one spot. I got a T-Mobile prepaid SIM while we were on a road trip to compare coverage. TMUS trounced over AT&T in just about every market. It was a night and day difference.
Between this, T-Mobile Tuesdays, Netflix and Apple TV+ on them (including Premium), an extremely seamless onboarding process (which surprised me, given that TMUS's IT has gotten a fair share of criticism), why anyone would bother with AT&T in most cases.
