Carrier T-Mobile 600MHz - do you have it?

Of course this rules out many older iPhones, but upgrading from my 7 to my 11, I expected better wireless performance in comparison but still have pretty rough signal in my area (the edge of town).

Head a few blocks in and speeds are off the charts, back home? Back to 1 or 2 bars, but have solid LTE.

All depends if you're in an area with Bands 71.

I will say, T-Mobile needs to turn the power up on Band 12 and 71.

I am curious about other people’s experience with Band 71 on the 600mhz. I am in the Detroit area and we do not have it yet (we are Phase 8 of the repacking process). I want to know what to expect?

As of now when T-Mobile coverage is good, it is very fast. However, lots of patchy areas where I have a signal but internet comes to a crawl. Will Band 71 (once its turned on) fix this? I have a Band 71 compatible phone.

According to tmonews, 600MHz or band 71 is in my area. Speedtest blew past my cable modems average.

You should double check to see if you are on Band 71 before the Speedtest.

I think you just need to go in field test mode. The following link are instructions.

Once you are in there you go to LTE -> Serving Cell Info. There should be something called Frequency Band. Currently, mine is on 12.
