T-Mobile is the fastest LTE network in the U.S. for 14th straight quarter; Verizon now 3rd

I guess it depends on where you live. I've never had problems in Georgia, New York, or California.

The old "I've never had any problems with X" response.

That doesn't really say much for everyone else unfortunately.

In the same token, I only care about my experiences & where I use my phone. I spend 99.9% of my life at home, work & in between. Why would I care about nationwide coverage when I'm always covered where I am?

Because you are not the only user on a carrier network. That's why. Once again you deflect from the point with your one sided view.

That's obvious, Flash & that's the point. I'm not buying a phone for everyone. I'm buying a phone for me. Why should I care about Fugly McGee in B*tt F*ck, Tennessee's reception? The answer is I shouldn't.

I didn't say anything about you should care about anyone else. What I AM saying is that you are not the only person who is using a smartphone, so get over it. Your situation does not apply to everyone.

I was talking about myself, maybe I was unclear or something. And like I explicitly said, I guess it depends on where you live. Because of my job I travel a lot. I personally haven't had a lot of issues with T-Mobile but I am well aware I can only speak for myself. I'm not sure what your point is.

Being in the bay area, I can agree, but only in California Bay area, LA and New York CITY. Go north of any of those places, and my T-Mobile covers goes to "Searching" on an iPhone 7. So like Flash is saying, it does not apply to everyone, just like when Sprint claims to be within 1% of Verizon or whatever and ATT claims to cover 99% of the US(Even though they are money-hungry, law breaking liars.)

"So just like Samsung, being the fastest or most popular doesn'tequate to being the best."

Going by that logic, the iPhone having the most sales, doesn't equate to being the best. :)

I never said it was. Triggered much lol?

Fastest doesn't equate to most all around coverage either. I own Sprint and Tmobile...... Tmobile is patchy coverage with faster LTE speeds. Use who you like, Alan loves to jig Sprint whenever possible. We have had this discussion before.

Bloke is completely right, you were the one to assume he was an apple fan when he may not be. I personally dislike both Samsung and 'iPhone ' and prefer the likes of windows phone, because of superior cameras and continuum, but that's just my own opinion, don't jump right away man, you end up looking like a clown for assuming wrong.

Yup, he is now in silence mode.

" -Mobile lacks coverage."

" T-Mobile customers receive an LTE signal 91.5% of the time they need one, compared to 90.2% for Verizon and 83.4% for AT&T."

This is the part that I think is funny. You can't do a speedtest where you don't get service (this stat glosses over that fact).

However, its good to see that 91.5% of people doing a speedtest on T-mobile are connected to LTE.

17. QWIKSTRIKE (Posts: 1408; Member since: 09 Mar 2010)

Well said root metrics ranks Tmobile coverage behind Sprints every time... Go figure..... They may have faster speed but lacking in the coverage area.... Why get butt hurt over the truth... Go to root metrics and see for yourself.

9. Deadeye37 (Posts: 233; Member since: 25 Jan 2011)

T-mobile coverage may be lacking compared to Verizon & AT&T, but they have made large strides to catch up.I think a lot of people who use the argument "T-Mobile lacks coverage" may find that they have decent/good coverage in their area now.

I've been with T-mobile for a long time and I've seen how much they've built out, especially in rural town USA. Verizon is still king there, but on my latest trip around rural Utah, I had service a lot more than I did a couple years ago.

Sprint user: "I get coverage everywhere I'm at with speeds faster than Verizon on average, so why should I care about nationwide."

See how flawed your logic is, or lack of?

27. g2a5b0e (unregistered)

You're such an idiot. If that's how the Sprint user feels, then good for them. What's good for the goose isn't necessarily good for the gander. Troll on.

29. Flash (banned) (Posts: 1972; Member since: 19 May 2017)

So I'm trolling now just because I made you look stupid with your faulty logic? Man get out of here.
