In a van down by the river
Anyone else experiencing very, very slow T-Mobile usage today, whereby it is a major effort for any page or App Store to load? Everything appeared to be fine earlier in the day. Rebooted the phone and it is a snail pace speed right now.

I wonder if there is an outage somewhere.

If there is, it's not here (Phoenix, AZ).

Getting what I usually get, around 20-30 down.
 
I had to turn on WiFi to be able to load anything. First time this has ever happened. And this happens to be my work phone.
Bummer!

I've had some issues before (once). However, after they resolved, T-Mob in my area had gone from 10x10 to 20x20 and speed went up about 1x5 times what it had been before. So at that point I chalked the issue up to upgrades.

Perhaps that is what is going on in your area. One can hope.
 
I recommend calling customer service to inquire since a weather damaged tower might be the culprit. Also if it due to an outage or upade they may add a discount to your bill upon request.
