Thinking about making the switch from AT&T to T-Mobile.

How is the service?

Great in these three cities, shitty between them.

ETA: I only get Edge between WBR and Lafayette. I haven't been past lafayette on 10 since late '13, but it was edge between there and Lake charles, but good until Houston. Between BR and NOLA I normally bounce between HSPA+, LTE and Edge.

Tmobile is pretty strong in the cities. They've been upgrading their network and I haven't had many problems in between.

I'm currently on ATT but thinking about making the switch soon. TMobile just bought a bunch of 700mhz band 12 spectrum from Baton Rouge to Houston. This will bolster their rural coverage as the signal travels farther. So their lte coverage is about to take a huge leap forward in that area... That said you need to get a phone capable of band 12. The iPhone 6 is not one of these devices. I'm looking at the Galaxy S6 just for this reason.

I've been with AT&T since the original iPhone came out and I had to drop Sprint to get it. I decided to give T-Mobile a try early last year when they announced their early termination buyout scheme. I live in Old Metairie, and I was only getting like 1 bar on LTE, and my speed tests were extremely slow. Occasionally it would drop down to 3G. My AT&T iPhone 5 at the time was giving me full bars.

So I returned the iPhone 5S to T-Mobile.
