Context: This is the second year I’ve been trying to hit 69% battery at 4:20 on 4/20.

It’s stupid and juvenile, but I’ve set a goal, damn it, and now I have to wait another year to try again. 😆

    Bout as good as having T-Mobile (uses their network). Will definitely vary from place to place, though. Kinda “meh” here since they mostly use band 66 for large cells which has pretty crap penetration into buildings.

      Huh, good to know there’s an explanation for why I was getting no signal inside my home when I was on T-Mobile. It’s the reason I switched.

        T-Mobile uses a lot of different bands, depending on the coverage area. Some areas are on 700 Mhz, others on higher PCS bands (former Sprint bands). I used www.cellmapper.net to see what frequencies were used and confirmed with LTE Discovery app on my phone.

        In my case, it was band 66 for a fairly large cell. I’ve also got a brick house, so that doesn’t help. AT&T’s 800 Mhz band worked well here but they were jerking around my plan so I switched to Mint.

          I don’t understand any of that, but I’m about to move into a brick house and now I’m wondering if my cell signal is going to suffer.
