T-Mobile CEO: “This industry blows,” biggest carriers offer “horseshit”

Conversely, I spent two weeks driving an RV from Chicago to Burning Man (where I had coverage on the playa), and then back to Chicago through Yellowstone. Yes, I had a roaming data cap, but it was higher than yours since I'm on the unlimited $50 voice/text/data plan (I believe I get 100MB/month of roaming data).

I can't really complain when my wife was sending MMS pics back home of Burning Man from inside our RV. That's coverage.

My brother did 1.2 GB of tethering in a couple hours on my T-Mobile phone while I was driving down I-75 from Detroit to the middle of Ohio. No coverage problems, no overage fees (I'm on the unlimited data plan), and we had a movie to watch by the time we got to the hotel.

Yeah, but keep going down I75 and coverage gets spotty, you start roaming on AT&T, and then is mediocre T-Mobile until you hit southern Tennessee/Northern Georgia. Luckily though I was getting good 3G around Georgia though.

I'm driving from Chicago to Tampa, FL this weekend. I'll have to use the OpenSignal app to see how the T-Mobile coverage is.
