The GP was referring to a problem with GPS, not their cellular connection. In any case, I haven't noticed any issues with T-mobile in San Francisco, so maybe T-mobile has some weaknesses unique to the Chicago area.

I'm fully aware but in the context of GPS reception on cellular devices--prompting me to ask what I thought was a tangential question. Apologies that this was such a severe faux pas to end up downvoted into the negatives.

Last time in Chi-town (2016) I had the best signal of the bunch with my TMO (others mostly on ATT/VZ).

Of course, over-subscription is a thing, so maybe things degraded?
