It’s remarkable how awful T-mo coverage is in the Seattle area (about 15 miles from their US office headquarters).

Would love to know who works where I am. Have AT&T and it's been very good everywhere EXCEPT where I live off 522 in Bothell/Woodinville. My "3" bars of "5G+" net me a 1.6 down in my apartment. Embarrassing performance.

Wish I could find a tower map for AT&T.

I just ditched t-mobile because their service went to shit. I kept complaining and they just said “they are having problems with the 1 tower we have for your whole valley”. No shit. Put another one up.

I got Xfinity Mobile (had to go to a Seattle office to sign up for some reason) several years ago, and at first I marveled at the fact I had enough service to stream Youtube my entire way across the pond. Now i barely have data in my home.

This was how it used to be in Kansas City if you were anywhere near the Sprint campus. No idea why they never put an antenna up on their own buildings.

In Seattle. Totally agree.

I have T-Mobile in ny and I can’t even send a text or make a call in my home unless it’s to another iPhone

Verizon is pretty bad also. I know so many major metropolitan areas in down town Seattle that are literal dead zones for phones. Why an enterprising thief could set up shop in these areas and wreak havoc and it’s not like anyone could call the cops about it cause there are not enough police here. Oh and the cell phone reception sucks also. What were we talking about again?

I can see their fucking logo on our stadium from my house but can't get a decent signal to save my life.
