Hi! My 7+ is coming Wednesday. All my previous iPhone's have been on Sprint. What is it like using the iPhone on T-Mobile?
 
I just ran this Speedtest from my Galaxy S7 Edge on T-Mobile in a very rural area between Baltimore and Philadelphia. I imagine you will have similar results via an iPhone as they both have the ability to connect to LTE Advanced and the newer LTE bands. I must say this speed test is faster than my cable internet lol. I've been extremely happy with T-Mobile since I switched from AT&T a few years ago.

I have an LG Stylo 2 Plus right now, as an in between (my SE couldn't be unlocked from Sprint). Wouldn't the data speeds actually be better on the iPhone?

Why do you think so?

That's totally possible. I'm not completely up to date on which phones have the newest and fastest cellular chips. I've read the 7 is capable of 450 mbps, don't know how that translates into practical usage as you're not gonna see those speeds day to day.
 
I'm on the North Eastern Shore. Elkton, MD. I get good signal pretty much everywhere.

Yeah, on my Stylo, I get great signal everywhere in Hagerstown. No matter where I've gone in Maryland, I've never lost LTE once.
