T-Mobile switches users to pricier plans and tells them it’s not a price hike::T-Mobile: "We are not raising the price... we are moving you to a newer plan."

In SoCal it can get pretty bad, and I've been to Disneyland and other events (concerts/sports) where the phone simply doesn't work at all. I'm on a Verizon MVNO right now that seems to be fine, but the AT&T and T-Mobile based ones both have issues around here.

Right I'm saying does the prepaid T-Mobile plan count as an MVNO? If it's directly from them vs a separate company like Mint

[-] cerevant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

No, it isn't an MVNO, but I do think it gets lower priority than their premium plans.

This is correct, as many people have pointed out though, this is an urban issue. Priority data doesn't really play into the world of rural users who don't have enough people in town to congest their single tower

I didn't have any issues with Metro when I lived in San Diego and Apple Valley back in 2015 through early 2016.
