sprint sucks ass. no low band

verizon has a lot of low band. probably the best choice for now

t-moble has considerable low band, but most of their rollouts are in the city at the moment. stay tuned, they're the carrier to watch for the next few years

att has meh speeds, but acceptable in building coverage. overcharges (even verizon is fucking cheaper)

Take TMobile and Verizon for a test drive. TMobile has the the best packages for the price and pretty good coverage in cities. Best carrier if you want an unlimited data plan. Verizon if you just want cell coverage 95% of the time. But more expensive.

They're whoring themselves out though making everyone jump on their ship. Now I hear there's a rumor where they give unlimited streaming towards Netflix and HBO which will cause more congestion since normies will actually stream a lot more now.

Nah MetroPCS is the best unlimited data plan carrier. T-Mobile bought them out and their entire network uses t-mobile now thought on less priority with congested towers. It's 60 bucks flat for a month unlimited no taxes or anything prepaid vs 80 bucks+10 dollars surcharges comes out to 90 bucks a month for tmobile.

Though if you grabbed the unlimited promo for 2 for 100 t-mobile would win I guess.

t-mobile owns a shitload of fiber backhaul. won't be a problem.

also t-mobile wont do that- the majority of their profit is in video streaming, because thats when normies upgrade to unlimited data.

You're kidding right? I had MetroPCS before I went to tmobile unlimited only due to the promo. Literally no difference in speed and deprioritzation basically never happened to me.

Why the fuck would wifi calling even be needed with unlimited calling and data and I don't even know what roaming is.

The 30 dollar difference is huge for largely the same shit.

It's over. I think he's trying to get rid of unlimited plans or weaken it to demolish it forever.

metropcs sucks because you can't tether unless you buy a tethering data bucket and their customer support is full of ghetto nogs or indians.

I use rok mobile which runs on tmo's network. I pay a premium but I like being able to talk to middle class customer support people and not having to deal with a computer when I call.

They give you 6 gb tethering on the 60 dollar unlimited plan now. Heck you can use a VPN to bypass it if you wanted too.

CS was full of white sounded southerners when I called 3-5 times

Tmobile CS kept giving me about 50% indians I couldn't understand yesterday

Now, I live in suburbia, and want to get a phone, but won't have the primary band of T Mobile or AT&T(12, 17). I just want to know if I'm going to suffer quality for this and should just get a different phone

Isn't that the 5gb for 50 bucks? 10 bucks more will literally get you unlimited. Pathetic

verizon is the shittiest company of them all, but they have the best coverage in America.

They know that, and that's why they can afford to be the shittiest carrier.

Is it because they have their customers data controlled to the max? I mean no unlimited anymore and overage charges that show no mercy. Hard to believe anyone would abuse data making them top due to low usage. Or do they actually have better coverage tech wise?

Live in new York, currently use T-Mobile without any issues. Looking to change to Cricket. Anyone ever use?

I'm currently paying $60/month for 3GB of data but I can get 5GB for $55/month with Cricket.

Same coverage? That's the biggest takeaway.

I had boost for awhile which claimed to use sprint's lte network but that was garbage

Because sprint is garbage coverage wise. MetroPCS is the exact same as tmobile other than lesser CS support. But coverage wise it's the same as having a t-mobile sim.
