It looks like T-Mobile's CEO is getting under somebody's skin.

Didn't Sprint just take away unlimited data? T-Mobile didn't and that maybe why Sprint is pissed cause they lost 1 million subscribers to T-Mobile. Sucks to be them.
And everything you've said here depends on where you live and how often you use your service on the road. In other words, it's virtually meaningless as a generalization.T-mobile has always been that carrier that myself and others regret having gone to whenever we were trying to save money. One of those things where it seemed like a good idea at first, but after awhile you remember why you were on Verizon/ATT before. Like, they're not bad by any stretch of the means, but they arent great, and nothing is more annoying than lack of coverage/speed when you need it most. Tmobile always netted me 10-20mbps wherever I sat, be it at home or the office, but thats not where I need 20mbps. I need 20mbps when I'm driving, or standing in a warehouse, or standing in the middle of nowhere, or in the basement of some office building, or in the corner of a very thick walled office building. You know, the times when I dont have a computer readily available. Those were the times were I either got no signal at all, or weak enough to the point that it was useless.
IMO Tmobile always gives the illusion of good service because people always test it under ideal circumstances. Even when they shine their pricing structure usually isnt anything significantly better than the competition. Avg cost for identical plans is maybe $15/month cheaper after taxes and fee's. If you're making decisions over $15/month you probably shouldnt be buying a smartphone or be concerned with high speed data in the first place, you cant afford it.
When you have THE worst service in the country (spare the few anomalies of good service people say they get 1/20th of the time), I guess it's better to offer customer service to come to people's homes to setup new phones (older generations will like this), and bash the competitor that's stolen all your customers to a real network with better service and pricing which threw your company into 4th place by subscriber numbers overall! Why spend money fixing a problem, when you can just spend money and time to act like it doesn't exist? Right, Sprint?
Sprint and T-Mobile, for when you need service *some* of the time, in the city you bought the service.
I've never seen two people fight over "distant third" place in my life.
Sprint should have never gotten rid of Nextel. Everyone uesed them down hear, go to any job site back In the mid 00s and just about every contractor had one.
All they had to do was keep the rugged phones and the walkie talkie part and switch them to a better network and they would have had a good niche

They underestimated their ability to incorporate PTT to work with CDMA. Sprint thought they could do it within a year or two, in reality it took over five years. It was incredibly hard to get the near instant performance that Nextel had. Verizon and AT&T both tried and even they couldn't get it right.
Please, don't do that.I dumped Sprint for Tmobile 2 years ago.
I can drive around San Diego and steam HD youtube in my car with no buffering at all.
I have sprint and right now with 4 bars of 4g lte I get 1.3 mbs down and .2 up the only reason I have it is its free though my work
I've seen sprint provide incredible u/d rates, but it's the exception. It's generally slow even with LTE. I'm seriously debating leaving my SERO plan and going with Cricket.
