I share doubts about whether their "unlimited" truly means unlimited, but I am also dubious of the "nationwide" claim. Don't zoom in too close on their coverage

I share doubts about whether their "unlimited" truly means unlimited, but I am also dubious of the "nationwide" claim. Don't zoom in too close on their coverage map or those vast swaths of comforting green (strong signal, yeah!) dissolve into pale yellows and whites (hm, maybe 2G, maybe nothing?).
- MatthewPhillips 14y agoT-Mobile already has an unlimited plan that they reneged on, why should anyone trust them this time?
- kamjam 14y agoIt's the same in the UK. Although this time apparently it is truly "unlimited" according to No data caps, speed limits, or bill shock I was on an "unlimited" plan here with a 3GB monthly limit... I could go over it but it was a 3 strike rule and then they would charge extra. I wish they'd do what Australia do and not let them false advertise. In Oz if it if 10GB then they must advertise as such.
- kpozin 14y agoI was on T-Mobile for a few months this year. There are large swaths of metro Boston and Cambridge where they have no coverage -- most of the Esplanade, Harvard Square, every MIT building I've been in, Route 2 from Alewife through most of Arlington. All of these places are fully green on their coverage map. So I don't even want to know what they mean by yellow and white.
- mikexstudios 14y agoYes... T-Mobile coverage at MIT is almost non-existant. Once I walk outside of the main campus, I magically get reception again.
