Tmobile just turned on LTE in many parts of Tacoma which I never excepted to get LTE here till end of year. I was getting constant LTE here for about 5 miles. The speeds weren't that great but what could I say it's only the first day they've turned it on plus its only in testing mode

I'm personally new to Tacoma, I moved to northeast Tacoma from auburn and drive to stadium high school everyday school day and uasally get 4g but today I was getting LTE from marine view dr to I-509 to beginning of downtown Tacoma then went back to 4g as I got closer to stadium. LTE rollouts are basically in the same order that the 1900mhz reframe was happening and the after that they will start converting non reframed areas to 1900mhz and LTE then hopefully they will start working on the edge areas. Ps I got to first Ukrainian Babtist Church in federal way so if I see any LTE ill post here

Nothing in Boston so far.

I got my iP5 swapped out for a newer model. Has a TMO Sim in it right now.

Any news on Los Angeles?



From the other thread:
https://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?p=17332478#post17332478

I was told by my T-Mobile Business Account Rep (I have my Local Direct Rep, not 611 Cust Serv) that there may be outages or lower speeds (2G) in San Diego County in the next fee weeks/months because T-Mo is updating/upgrading the towers (Cell-Sites)... Which I've also noticed while driving around!!




As far as I'm aware, San Diego and LA both started this week.
