T-Mobile is basically just using their mmwave for leverage for more 2.5Ghz, their remaining 24 & 39Ghz is only in pockets of select cities The 47Ghz is nationwide but there's no hardware or CPE for now

[@BTech49]

If T and T-Mobile disregard mmW, they'll regret it. Horrible idea.

[@cg5841]

Yeah…T-Mobile wants the messes to be on their side with this. Should AT&T follows suit, it then puts a light on Verizon with articles and etc about how the spectrum is questionable given the other two have essentially abandoned it. Verizon has to show up and show out to prove who has the best network strategy, Verizon or T-Mobile/AT&T. AT&T siding with T-Mobile takes pressure off to deploy it.

[@vapidshay]

Verizon does objectively have the best network strategy atm. they’re deploying mid-band across the nation quicker than T-Mobile did while adding mmwave wherever it currently makes sense, & they aren’t letting up anytime soon.
give it a couple of years & they’ll have the fastest, most dense network in the country again despite their comparative lack of low-band which will matter less & less as more traffic moves over to 5G improving their spectral efficiency.

[@thanetworknerd]

​​@@vapidshay That's mainly because Verizon had money to throw to accelerate the C-Band process, and additional money to deploy as quickly as possible
The low band piece still matters, especially if we're trying to stretch out C-Band, there's only n2, n5, and possibly in years to come we'll see n13.

[@Noworries-PU7ye]

No it's because you have too many tin foil hat types. That are campaigning against it. They say millimeter wave is basically like microwave. Lol my understanding .

[@BTech49]

Vapidshay is absolutely right. And Verizon addressed their low-band by purchasing more 850 MHz spectrum from US Cellular, also acquiring additional AWS and PCS spectrum in the deal as well. Their network is already superior and will continue to be.

[@thanetworknerd]

@@BTech49 Right, and the 850MHz transaction was needed for quite a number of areas. I wish they would’ve had a national license to use it, then the low band piece wouldn’t matter.
It matters more in my opinion when Verizon’s fully transitioned into SA, C-Band can reach far and we can see that, but it would help make C-Band stretch out farther with a NR low band carrier. T-Mobile is doing this at my local site broadcasting n71 + n41 and it makes for a good experience, around 300mbps on my S24U. Meanwhile VZ is struggling to maintain 1-2 bars of B13. As soon as I’m outside, I get 200mbps on VZ C-Band no problem. I do think Verizon has a good strategy, but I am slightly concerned with indoor usage at this current moment in time. With more time and advanced technologies coming out, I can expect this to be less of a problem.
