Context: This is the second year I’ve been trying to hit 69% battery at 4:20 on 4/20.

It’s stupid and juvenile, but I’ve set a goal, damn it, and now I have to wait another year to try again. 😆

    since they mostly use band 66 for large cells which has pretty crap penetration into buildings.

    Huh, good to know there’s an explanation for why I was getting no signal inside my home when I was on T-Mobile. It’s the reason I switched.

      T-Mobile uses a lot of different bands, depending on the coverage area. Some areas are on 700 Mhz, others on higher PCS bands (former Sprint bands). I used www.cellmapper.net to see what frequencies were used and confirmed with LTE Discovery app on my phone.

      In my case, it was band 66 for a fairly large cell. I’ve also got a brick house, so that doesn’t help. AT&T’s 800 Mhz band worked well here but they were jerking around my plan so I switched to Mint.

        I don’t understand any of that, but I’m about to move into a brick house and now I’m wondering if my cell signal is going to suffer.
