And T-Mo inherited all that and is now the bottom feeder. It's just a matter of time before one of the other two merges with them to "increase customer value and create jobs".

T-Mobile acquired both Sprint and MetroPCS to increase their spectrum allocation. I literally travel all over the country and don’t have an issue with T-mobiles service

Right now I am in small town south GA and getting 120/40 on cellular.

Meanwhile I live in a city of 300k people about a mile away from the capitol building and I can't get cell access when on the incorrect side of the BK down the road.
Anecdotal: I've been quite happy with T-Mobile's coverage for many years now. At least where I'm at they have just as good, if not better, coverage than Verizon does.
I was quite happy with T-Mobile's service for the last 5 years, in that I had no signal at all at my house and my work phone was, conveniently, T-Mobile!

The universe enforced me being unreachable outside of work hours and I didn't mind that at all.

"Bottom feeder" is a funny way to describe the only carrier in the US with a realistically functioning 5G network.
yields of course layoffs. Tmobile has been laying off people with the reason being overlap between the companies.
