    I can’t even get 5G to work in a major city on t mobile. Half the time it falls back to lte. And they have discussed turning that off. 😂

      Back when I worked there after the Sprint merger, doing retail phone support, T-Mobile seemed to absolutely refuse to even consider that their 5G network deployment wasn’t adequate for the real world. 99% of the network just used the LTE spacing, most of which used the previous spacing from the various flavors of 3G. Each generation the spacing wasn’t adequate for the new tech, but that was always brushed off when anyone on the retail side who actually saw the results daily, brought it up in meetings.
