Oh, my, You are correct 3 weeks ago is a long time in BITOG for me. Your assumption was wrong, I forget about the post I made that started this thread! SO you are right, if that makes sense. Im confused myself because I am rushing.I assume you know that neither the topic you posted nor the article you referenced are about home internet service only. You started talking about home internet service in Post #20.
Historically in my area, T-mobil has worked well when you are nearer populated areas. Currently, they still seem to have more holes in their network and have not expanded into areas I either work or play in. ATT is the king in those places, thus has my business.
That's why I take any article touting how great some service is with a grain of salt... They can cherry pick the metrics they want and they all look great...
BTW - I am an ATT cell phone user since 2002 and still to this day through RedPocket now, before that, Cricket, before that, Straight Talk, before that Sprint and before that true ATT in NY. There was a period when I moved from NY to SC that I became a Sprint customer because I am able to get the area code exchange that I wanted before the move.
ATT cell coverage is and was always as good and in some cases better than Verizon. Sprint and TMobile back then were in the toilet.
I have traveled every back woods road and county in the State of SC, every rural place imaginable. My work provided phone was Verizon and my personal phone ATT. Given the area they both worked equally well.
As far as cherry picking stats on availability of 5g to their customers, T-Mobile has the other 2 smoked. This isn't just coming from T-Mobile, its 3rd party facts. Granted in the large populations areas.
Wall Street knows their potential , they now own massive amounts of prime spectrum for the up and coming 5g driving the stock price to sell many, many times great multiple then Verizon and ATT.
Ok, that's out of the way. This is what I thought everyone knew I was talking about (except maybe me)
Now with T-Mobile home internet, they are light years ahead of the competition. Verizon has plan to catch up this year, T-Mobile is adding the capability for 2 million households a week to 5g home internet, for the entire last year Verizon added only 2 million. This is Wall Street news.
With all this said, the bottom line, in regards to Home Internet service, its not cherry picking stats. T-Mobile blew everyone away last year and continues this year. AS far as comments that it may not work here or there is meaningless because Home Internet is stationary, just like cable internet.
It either works great or doesn't and it stays in your home or business. The customer either keeps it or returns it. It doesn't travel around so if it works, it will keep working.
Also if they know it won't work, they will tel you its not available in your location.
