They only throttle you if you are on a highly congested tower

AT&T coverage is aight.....I just don't like their lying ways. Such a disingenuous peice of crap company. You should see how they run the office. My friend is a manager at one and the things he tells me.....wow. They would get sued for racism and all sorts of illegal things...AT&T is a bad company. Yet theyre cheap enough for me that I will look the other way lol.

Maybe it's just your friend.

That's really the way it should be. Honestly, if at&t wants to outsource jobs to India and the Philippines, that's them. If apple wants to pay cents a day for building the products, that's them, as long as I am on the consumer side and it's to my like, that company can do whatever they want and I'll never say anything. Whether they're a good or a bad company they still have at least double the coverage t mobile has and that's enough for me to look into this deal, I already have one line with them, but have other companies for the rest of the services.

If T-Mobile had Band 12 in central New Mexico, I would leave AT&T in a minute. I'm surprised you didn't get good coverage on T-Mo in CO, though. The I-25 corridor is lit up with Band 12 from Trinidad to Estes Park.

I never said I didn't, I went to fort collins and there and denver I did get good coverage, just there, going to Breckenridge and aspen nothing but at&t roaming on my t mobile line, while my at&t had 3 bars of LTE. Band 12 is slower than the other two, band 2 is ideal, as it covers more grounds than band 4 and not as pathetically slow as band 12. I'm going to look into this deal and see exactly how much more would I pay to get this deal. I like t mobile they were my first company when I came into the adult world but their coverage in the middle of the country and even within Texas (west of San Antonio) is a joke. I'd be fine with roaming, but it makes no sense to me how can a company offer unlimited roaming outside of the country but be limited to only 50 megs within the country.

Yeah, AT&T isn't too bad in West Texas. I never had issues going to Austin or San Antonio from Amarillo unless I went down 287 through Dallas. The stretch between Clarendon and Wichita Falls blows. I-27 to Lubbock, 84-70-277 to I-10 was pretty good on AT&T.

Yep, I went to Colorado from beaumont through Dallas, Oklahoma city, Wichita (Kansas not Texas lol) and t mobile was okay until after Oklahoma city, then coming back we went through new Mexico, Amarillo, fort worth and down towards Houston and my God, abysmal service with t mobile, meanwhile not going to lie but I did find a dead spot in Kansas with at&t, but by this time I had already gone through my roaming allowance with t mobile. When I went to California my t mobile either had no service or roamed but with at&t never dropped below hspa+. Do you think we can still apply a corporate discount on this new plan? It's extremely tempting with my past hiccups with t mobile. I even tried out the sleek 4G and while it definitely boosts signal there's nothing it can do if there's none to begin with.

There's a dead spot for everyone but Verizon in eastern NM on I-40, but it has gotten a lot smaller, with spotty Edge, on AT&T.

I'll take that over continuous roaming, limited at 50 megs. I could do away with unlimited throttled roaming, but 50 megs? It wasn't even an hour of Pandora songs. With this move am curious to see if anyone else would either consider or simply leave t mobile.

Doubt it, they're just feeling the heat and trying to bolster some revenue as well as experimenting the no contract path but without passing to the customer the subsidiary discount, being that unlimited data is still the same price as it is WITH the subsidy.

It'll be typical "we're leaders, not followers" type of bs but will end up giving in and following anyway.

I do. Its all a matter of preference. I have been a customer for 8 years. By far the best service I have recieved by any provider. If I was about low price, then off to garbage Dish and T-Mo I would go.

I travel too much to ever think about using T-Mo. My dad has Dish and picture quality sucks. Comcast doesn't have HD channels or Sports selection I like. And before someone says, yes I would gladly pay for the premium on Sports Channels(ESPN), but I also don't want many of the other channels that are driving up a bill(AMC).

Well, I have Directv for the NFL Sunday Ticket.....I was Grandfathered in for unlimited data on AT&T and now I have unlimited data for my wife and son! It's a great deal for my family.
