   The problem I've seen, especially on Howard Forums, is that there is   
   contingent of three or four T-Mobile fanboys that are terribly offended   
   anytime anyone mentions coverage issues with T-Mobile, even though some   
   of them do admit that these issues exist.   
      
   They have several canned responses including "things will change when   
   600Mhz (band 71) is rolled out" to "no one cares about gaping holes in   
   coverage because no one ever goes to those places with no coverage," to   
   "all carriers have coverage holes," to "the Sprint/T-Mobile merger will   
   fix coverage issues."   
      
   They will often insist that anyone that mentions T-Mobile's coverage   
   challenges is employed by Verizon or AT&T. I posted images of the   
   monthly checks I receive from Verizon and AT&T for my postings regarding   
   comparative coverage levels.
