Network issues, recurring theme?

So seems T-Mo network is out again. Funny Legere was bashing the other networks and it seems to be a weekly occurrence with T-mo and having an outage https://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mobiles-network-takes-a-siesta-this-morning_id95750

Do you use them? To be honest every network does go down .. But that is why I don't get the gloating they do at each other as if each carrier hasn't had that happen .

I ended up going back to Verizon and it's been great. For me Verizon is a lot cheaper so no regrets.

all carriers have problems but with the reliability issues TMobile has it just doesn't seem like it's worth $70 for one line. on top of that they are raising the plus price for new customers so doesn't seem uncarrier anymore

I understand carriers go down, but T-mo has been going down more than verizon/att/aprint during the first deployment of LTE.

True. If it's messing with you I'd swap over to someone else till they're more stable.

I ended up leaving tmobile due to price. was more expensive and no plan alternative (even their $60 kickback ) wasn't competitive. I am spending less on att now with the work discount, plus I get full speed hotspot. TMobile had the hotspot so gimped it wasn't what I needed

for me the uncarrier became more carrier like than att or Verizon.

On top of that the text sending problem became frustrating even with full coverage a lot of my text wouldn't send for hours straight. Data was out a lot also. I had to get a gophone backup that I had to use too much so it defeated the purpose of having TMobile and paying a premium for it, no work discount, and gimped hotspot unless I wanted to pay $10 more.

I still like TMobile and want them to do well but if I got a line it would only be prepaid

Interesting that you switched do to price. After 20+ years with AT&T we finally couldn't take the price increases and limited data offerings AT&T offers. We were going to pay a LOT more for a family of 4 staying with AT&T (even with a huge company discount plan) vs. TMO. At least $60+ per month extra.

So far TMO has better perks than AT&T and of course the price has been right, and the larger buckets of data works better. We rarely if ever use hotspots and if we do on a road trip, it works perfectly well for our needs. Sure we've had a few hiccups but overall it's been a better switch than staying with AT&T.

yeah for one line it was less expensive for my uses. now if I needed unlimited and used more data TMobile would be a great choice. I tried to get on one of the older $50 plans but they said only thing available was the one plan.

down the road I don't mind reevaluating them to see what deals they may have

the network coverage was great overall but I think they had more capacity type issues in my case that should be much better down the road. I was definitely impressed with the coverage so I can't fault them for that since it just keeps getting better and better.

Looks like you are right. I should have stayed with tmobile. The att bill has prorated charges and the taxes suck. Even with a waived activation fee (due to work discount) the first bill is 130 and that's for 1 line at $60. Two days proration so I expected it to be maybe 75 max this first bill.

I'll be heading back to TMobile at the end of the current cycle. I was an ***** for leaving
