benrosa, i didnt vote because i don't know the answer. i can only speak about my own experience. i have t-mobile. overall i rate t-mobile's service a 7 out of 10. for street level signals, i was on 60th street near lexington and it worked great, but in an area with shorter buildings (ironically
) (park avenue south near 29th street), there was no signal!
now at home, the t-mobile signal
in the lobby seems to be 10-12% stronger than on my floor, which is definitely higher than street level. so that's another strange observation. taller or shorter doesn't seem to mean anything with t-mobile. strange. i've heard apartment-hunters visiting my building asking the rental liaisons for the highest floor possible. maybe they have a different carrier or are interested in a high floor for different reasons other than cell signals
when i had verizon wireless, the signals were more consistent all around the city, imo. however, i don't have regrets about switching to t-mobile. i hope this thread doesn't turn into a verizon-versus-at&t insultfest/bragfest. that has happened on this forum before.
anyway as far as i know (and someone correct me if i'm wrong) i think the highest 4G is called HSPA+ or something which is actually 3G on steroids, meaning there's no such thing as true 4G for anyone (until the technology improves). "4G" is just a convenient label the public has been fed. it was created by marketing professionals.
anything in blue above should be corrected if inaccurate. corrections welcomed. thanks.
