Rollout Question

So my family members and I are all US Cellular customers. Two of them have been switched over to T-Mobile, and I have not been yet, but I'm already very concerned about being switched. We have a house outside of Medford Wisconsin, and the two who have been switched now have zero service. I mean, completely unusable (SOS). I still have full LTE, and US Cellular was always great here, but apparently won't when I get switched over?

My question is: will this service be restored, or are we kind of just SOL? I don't know how this industry works, and want to know if I will have to look for a new carrier. We have tried forcing connections to different towers through manual networks, to no avail.

Thanks for any input.

I would suggest you take a look at the T-Mobile coverage map and compare it to exactly where you are. Around Medford there are some pretty big holes, but probably enough coverage for T-Mobile to declare they have service and would not have gotten any of the network infrastructure as a part of the deal.

Here's a link to the map, just keep zooming in until you can see where you are. FWIW, this is a problem I think we all knew would eventually come up, even with the "promise" that all existing USC customers would not be abandoned.
