Not to troll, but how is this newsworthy? Everyone knows telecoms blow and offer horseshit-- from CEO to customer. Maybe if good ol' Señior Stevenson said this

Not to troll, but how is this newsworthy? Everyone knows telecoms blow and offer horseshit-- from CEO to customer. Maybe if good ol' Señior Stevenson said this it'd mean something, but coming from the T-Mob CEO it ain't nothin'
He even goes to create some horeshit when he says "T-Mobile's network is fastest." I call bullshit, and ask "where is it faster, asshat?"
T-Mobile has always had pretty good customer service, but their network isn't nearly as large as other providers...
For those who don't know, providers have different licenses in each area, more licenses = more spectrum = better reception. T-Mobile, in general, as the least amount of spectrum available (by a huge margin). They also operate at a much higher frequency than their competition so their building penetration is worse (especially over 3G/4G).
This same thing goes with network speed; some areas have more spectrum and thus can offer better speeds. Some can't. So any measurement of "we're faster" is very, very geographically specific.
Note: I worked in the wireless industry for 5 years (with a few of those at T-Mobile).
- e28eta 13y agoWhere's the cable company exec who's willing to admit their industry blows? I think it's refreshing to hear him acknowledge how crappy telecoms are. I think it's even better that they're shaking things up.
