T-Mobile 5G Speed Tests and Real World Testing!

---

[Goji-Berries]

Congrats on getting a big sponsor, but the testing for TMO needs to be called to question.

-Stores always get priority signal to help convert new customers
-Device IMEI could also get priority connection.

-Who chose the locations for testing?

Just switched to T-Mobile here in Michigan on the iPhone 12 in a small town and 5G is everywhere very impressed especially because i switched from Verizon.

I barely get any 5G coverage in my home. I’m very disappointed in their coverage

[jerrymasinag]

Its nice seeing you outside.
Can't wait for your 1million sub😊

I really like to see Live Twitch Broadcasting on the go.

It’s great to see what T-Mobile has created in the US. In Germany, it’s rather lackluster but T-Mobile is improving that here as well at a rapid pace.

I’m switching from Spectrum mobile to T-Mobile’s magenta max plan for my phone and tablet. Looking forward to these awesome speeds and truly unlimited data! Was previously with T-Mobile for about 12 years

T Mobile won every test. Amazing, because T Mobile uses a much slower form of 5G, than Verizon. I have T Mobile and I’m very happy with it, but this is ridiculous.

Let's get real. A 4G tower has a range of around 20 miles. A 5G tower can transmit effectively about 1500 meters (0.9 miles). If you live away from a city center its going to take them at least 5 years to get a tower that close to your house. Right now I have spotty coverage with 4G LTE in many areas, with 2 bars being the norm, and I'm two miles from Los Angeles county. Further, 5G wavelengths attenuate much more than 4G. So as you saw in the video that probably had an antenna at the mall, the house had 1/4 the signal, and that's in T-Mob's demo city! The average in 5G cities is only 56Mb. Further, if you live in Seattle don't bother because every time it rains or fogs up you'll be hard-pressed to hit the 5G tower at the end of the block if you're lucky enough to have a tower at all. I'm really supposed to believe that Verizon, a company with the best 4G coverage which is still inadequate, is going to spend enough money to put 400 antennas (20^2) for every 4G antenna? How about T-Mobile who just recently achieved 4G parity coverage with Verizon? Where's the money coming from? You! The plan is to charge metered cellular rates for every 5G connection, including your home! That's why Verizon sold all its fiber business to Frontier last year! Your home rates will skyrocket to pay for this infrastructure and your connection will be slower at home. Don't be fooled. 5G is for the provider, since it can service 1000x the number of connections at the same cost. So yeah, if you stand under the antenna or you're lucky enough to live right next to the antenna you'll get 465Mb. And the average is 56Mb, and that's twice 4G. But if you're 1000-1600 yards away you'll probably be paying premium prices for 4G speeds, and if its raining, none at all. Meanwhile at home you can already get 1Gb reliably under all conditions and may be able to get 10Gb soon if you have a wire, at normal monthly rates. Cellular? You're going to pay through the nose for all those antennas!

Most places in Chicago it’s only about 30-40mbps faster from my testing. Neighborhoods - Jefferson Park, Elmwood Park, O’Hare area, Norridge, Rosemont, River Grove, Melrose Park just to name a few. It does seem to help with congestion though and that’s the only real world advantage I’d give it atm. Not something you need though... LTE speeds in the first place are supposed to be better than advertised but due to many factors they aren’t.

Overall though T-Mobile is wayyyy better now in Chicago in general used to be pretty bad just a few years ago like I would only get good speeds when I traveled to rural Indiana just outside Chicago. A part of it could be the Sprint merger as well since Sprint was always the best in terms of speeds in Chicago beating out everyone else.

A phone getting 1Gbit, on a mobile network much less, is super impressive!

[jbmbryant]

In my area no Verizon 5G, T-mobile yep. Good-bye Verizon, hello T-mobile. With Verizon 4g/lte the best dl speeds I could get were around 150 Mbs, but usually much lower. Now that I'm T-mobile, I typically get around 500 Mbs and better phone service for $5 less per month. T-Mobile is a class act all the way!

Me: sees 400mbps fownload and 60mbps upload

Also me: looks at my 25mbps download and 5mbps upload.

[Wiseguy]

I’m not even an American so I don’t have T-Mobile & I’m an iPhone 12 Pro user in an area where there is no 5G yet I’m watching this video (on that phone over wifi) because Tim is just so damn handsome and I love to watch his content!

[bungkusi]

Funny to see most of the video were outdoor and inside Tmo store.
How about the *REAL* speed inside you're home/apartment

[AndrewRobbins]

Me and my family have finally switched to T-Mobile from AT&T, I was doing a SpeedTest with 5G standalone in DFW, I was getting about 800 Mbsp, that is blazing fast speeds

[dabzpaintball]

It's bs I switch from 4G light s8 to 5G had nothing but problems on my S20 with Services

[Robotkiller]

Sadly it's not like this everywhere

[molidomatthaeus]

T-Mobile may not have mmWave everywhere like Verizon, but at least I get up to 500 Mbps in my house.

yo when are you doing the unboxing on the Galaxy s21+
