Several years ago we had T-Mobile (probably a decade). And traveled. And found out it was absolutely useless anywhere in the Southwest, and most of the other places we went. As in, in 42 days in the Southwest, T-Mobile worked SIX, Verizon worked 42. So, T-Mobile went away.
In November, we decided to try T-Mobile again because of the constantly yammered statements that it’s not FANTASTIC, and has the WIDEST coverage of anyone, and “it’ll work no matter where you are”……
I’m in Florida. When west of Tampa - it DIDN’T WORK AT ALL. Nothing. Couldn’t even get the mobile hotspot to connect on the Galaxy S22 most of the time, and when it did, it NEVER got close to even 1 Mbps.
Figured that was a fluke, and when I got somewhere like Fort Myers, it would be BLAZING fast and that paultry 40MB of hot spot data would get used to good advantage… Um… NO!
Here, in north Fort Myers, within a quarter mile of I-75, there’s almost NO signal, and Speedtest shows at BEST, a whopping 1.05 Mbps for download speed. It’s so BAD, I get better performance from Visible, which is Verizon’s garbage, bottom-of-the-barrel data that priorities lower than anything else in the universe. To say I’m unimpressed with T-Mobile’s DRASTIC improvement would be an understatement…
Next I’ll be in Big Cypress and the Everglades, and if this POS doesn’t even work here, I presume there’s NO hope for it there.
Anybody out there have ANY USEFUL ideas for how to get this Galaxy S22 to perform a whole lot better than it has in the last 3 weeks and 2 locations?
