Customer =! Person they could have been counting active sims (there ae a lot of them) allso quite a few people have multiple sims (buisness/private etc) but without a vlear idea on how thei're counting this is bure quess work on my part

Not shore if I agree, more spectrum efficiency might enable another MNO to get in on the game at the next rf auction as the incumbents might not need to gobble up every last MHz for their own needs
It's good that Sprint was getting good spectrum, including that which Nextel had. It's helped T-Mobile so much.
I'm a bit sad that they took away a good part of the local LTE performance to give 5G life, but hopefully, the next iPhone SE will support 5G and perform well.

Tjat might be because of the building, do you have any idea what materials were used to build it?
I was in Madison years ago for training, and I remember a lot of the attendees that I was training with, talked about how ‘U.S Cellular’ was clutch, specifically in the upper Midwest. To me, T-Mobile has some really limited coverage, and has expanded a lot over the years, but they struggle in lower MI. for coverage as well.
When I first got my iphone13 Pro MAX and it went from Sprint to Tmobile I was pretty happy as there was places inside restaurants that I actually had serve that I never had with Sprint LTE but as time has gone on and espeacialy the last week or so the service has been terible in my area. There has been several ocasions my phone says it has a 5G connection but will not even connect to the internet and a handful of times early in the mornings I have had NO SERVICE at all. Sometimes I can reboot the phone and get a signal. My phone came with no SIM and uses the Esim I have had tMobie reps tell me to go to local Tmobile store and get a real SIM card and that will help but then the people at the store say it will not matter.
You can find all sorts of crackpot false crap posted to the Internet.
Gamma rays are a form of ionizing radiation, and they come from the radioactive decay of an atomic nucleus.
Cellular phones use radio waves - completely different. Stuff like LTE and 5G refers to protocols and choice of frequency bands.
Thus "5g gamma rays" don't exist - it's complete bullsht likely dreamed up by someone trying to spread fear among those who've had little education in physics.
I pay for a year at a time and there’s some extra fees because the US is a mess like that - I never pay extra fees on my European SIM. I think I pay around $250ish for a year of service. I do get deprioritized at times which can be a little annoying but I find the overall service very good, and I like the pay for a year and then forget about it. WiFi Calling and VoLTE work great.
I pay about the same for my European SIM and get 10 times the data, no throttling and can use my SIM across a huge number of countries.
My cellular barely functions at my house despite the map showing full coverage
same 5g for me is useless, nothing was wrong with LTE for mobile, so far 5G is over hype for me on 13 Max Pro.
My iPhone 12 is on T-Mobile US' network. I've seen 850 mbps download speeds when connected to a mid-band 5G tower.
Same experience here. It speedtests very fast, but real-world it's borderline unusable.
They're counting the population living in their coverage area, not actual customers. Notice "available to."
Too bad they can't bother to ensure LTE and 4G still works. We had a nearby tower removed in April (some disagreement between the T-Mobile and the power company), and it still has not been replaced. So now we have limited 4G, lTE and 5G. I guess we get what we pay for, and they are by far the cheapest of the big 3 now.
Less than 500mbps on my iPhone 13 Pro with 5GUC in my home, and my area is pretty solid dark pink; I don't remember what my 4G speed was like, tho.
Which is apparently faster than being on my Spectrum Wifi I pay way too much for.

Is that comment based on privileged European or Asian service? Those upload speeds are competitive with US consumer landlines and exceed most wireless devices. In most places in the US, with a few FIOS exceptions, you need a commercial plan to get more than 40 up.
I'm both happy and sad to see the amounts of people who are on T-Mobile and are experiencing the 5GUW coverage having latency issues. It takes a while for the connection to actually get going for me. It especially sucks if I'm driving and maps or waze cuts out, making live information stop trickling in. It's gotten me stuck in traffic a few times now. We're talking minutes before it reconnects. Hoping T-Mo or Apple will get that fixed soon. Not sure exactly who's at fault here. I'm running a iPhone 13 Pro. Same thing happened on my iPhone 12 Mini.
I have the same exact problem. Over the last year I’ve been conditioned to be afraid of 5G because, for whatever reason, it doesn’t work well at all with my iPhone/T-Mobile. I’ve had it off and only using LTE for a long time. Occasionally I turn 5G back on but so far no luck.
