In the fridge? Let's hope he knows how far the closest tower is for the journalist's carrier.

My Galaxy Note 4 gets a solid connection on T-Mobile in the fridge, in the oven, in the washer, and in the dryer.

It's in the range of 33ms ping, 45Mbps upload, 24Mbps download in each of those locations.

Why? T-Mobile has a neighborhood tower one short block from home.

The fridge would block the ability of the microphone to pick up sounds, not block the cell tower signal
