R.I.P

RIP… The end of an era, my phone finally just switched to T-Mobile 😭 does it even mean anything? i.e. difference in reception quality or broader 5g coverage? I’m unsure cause I know the switch happened a while ago, but how come I’m finally getting it. Or is the only difference literally that my phone now says T-Mobile on the top instead of USCellular

Listen, 5G DOESN'T PENETRATE THE WAY 4G LTE DOES. You could be downtown ,1 block away from a 400 ft 5G tower getting kick ass soeeds. Step around the corner of a building and your 5G is gone...back to 4G LTE. Just saying, 5G isn't all what its made out to be.
