Tmobile LTE coverage in Seattle

[note235]

Anyone care to give their opinions on tmobile's LTE in seattle and surrounding areas?

I'm thinking of switching from ATT when the 5S comes.

 

[yeah]

I've never been there, but here is the coverage map.



Since Seattle and Bellevue (T-Mobile's headquarters) are close, they both offer excellent coverage.

Purple is EDGE.

Light Pink is 3G/4G HSPA+/LTE.

Dark Pink is 4G HSPA+/LTE.

thanks for the map!

the reason why I ask though is that my cousin has an iPhone 5 (originally on ATT) and doesn't get LTE when he' at my house even though im in the area where it should be

Was he not getting LTE on AT&T or on T-Mobile?

LTE on tmobile.
iPhone 5s should have LTE on either carrier?

Don't trust the map because it doesn't mean crap.

I personally would never go to T-mobile. I switched with the iphone 5 release and their service is atrocious.

And I live 15 minutes out of NYC - not a place you'd expect to have low service, especially since their map says it's great.

Yep, just where both offer LTE.

Oddly enough, I can attest to what this guy says, "don't trust the map."

I'm on AT&T and I've added my mom's line to T-mobile. So far, if you're outside, your signal would be great on LTE but as soon as you get indoors (i.e inside a mall) there would be a point where your iPhone 5 would go Edge and be really really painfully slow to even open Google on Safari.

I personally tried this while shopping at the downtown Seattle area, inside establishments, and was dumbfounded when it can't even load a Google results page. Also when you get outside of the greater Seattle metro area, you'll be sometimes experiencing Edge as well.
