Exactly the reason I left ATT and moved to T-Mobile. My old device still works, no need to throw it away.

- technothrasher 4y agoBack around when AT&T was first making noises about killing 3G and telling me I needed a new phone, I bought a T-Mobile prepaid SIM just to try it out. When I put the SIM in, the phone lit up like a Christmas tree with features that AT&T wouldn't allow (because it was a non-carrier phone). I since switched over and haven't looked back. Course it also helps that I've now got a T-Mobile tower on the same hill as my house, 1/4 mile away, and I live in a pretty rural area. So it's as if I have my own private tower. I regularly get 700-800mbps down on my phone at my house.

- SOLAR_FIELDS 4y agoLiving in a rural area, proximity to tower is just huge. We have the choice of either HughesNet for internet or pointing a Waveform antenna at a T-Mobile tower 7 miles away. We get 40 down and 2 up with the Waveform which is enough for zoom calls and is way more capable than HughesNet. If we didn’t have line of sight to the tower it would be so much worse.
- toast0 4y agoJust don't be too close. Can't catch a signal from the AT&T tower two lots over, because it's directed over our heads.
- vinay427 4y agoFor what it’s worth, I’ve regularly gotten 700-800 Mbps down in a relatively populated metropolitan area when in the US (T-Mobile, 5G), but it’s probably less consistent than your connection.
