PleasureKevin posted:does the US have like really bad wireless data? before 2011: at&t's 3G network was overloaded from smartphones, but they started upgrading it t-mobile was late to the 3G game because they didn't have any spectrum, but when they launched 3G it was fast, but only in major cities sprint was terrible because its both cdma and sprint verizon's cdma data network was overloaded from smartphones and had no path to grow 2011-2012: verizon launches lte first at&t doesnt have enough spectrum to launch lte to the scale verizon is so theyre slower/shittier tmobile expands their 3G/"4G" network and rolls out LTE sprint is still terrible 2012-2013: at&t tries to buy t-mobile to get their spectrum to make their network less lovely, fails t-mobile gets $4 billion from the failed merger and extra spectrum, goes into overdrive deploying lte verizon's lte network matures and covers most of the us sprint is still terrible, they slowly begin installing lte in major metros 2013-present: verizon is good but expensive at&t is ok but expensive t-mobile is great if you're in a major metro area, but lol if you arent sprint is still terrible

not really, they've just created an MVNO that can roam on both networks the phone chipset should be smart enough to only switch when it's logical to do so it's more of a "ok, for a while now i'm somewhere with a really strong t-mobile signal and a really weak sprint signal, let me switch" or "hey i just came out of airplane mode, let me scan all available networks. i dont see t-mobile here, better connect to sprint" there wont/cant be any inter t-mobile/sprint handoffs in real time during a call for a variety of technical reasons

unless they just do VoIP all the time and switch at will between LTE on T-Mobile, LTE on Sprint and WiFi although I'd guess that'd break if you lose LTE coverage entirely and can't just fall back to normal cellular voice of course, the fallback could dial into some magic Google Voice number and reconnect to the existing call

the amount of engineering that goes into maintaining a phone call simply between 2G-3G-4G seamlessly is a pretty complex effort, to imagine a bunch of google ball piters trying to do some frankenstein poo poo purely in software over cellular data connections would be lol

once it falls back to LTE it's just cellular ya. the worst part is having to use an n6 because it is so large you will drop it. And once you drop it the screen is hella brittle

t-mobile is fine here until you go indoors (i use the free data plan on my ipad), at&t and verizon have no problems as expected and when my brother visits his sprint service is godawful (and lol doesn't roam onto verizon since he uses some lovely mvno) i am maybe 20 minutes away at most from a major metro area
