I think for those who are on the fence still of deciding- here’s some things I think everyone should think about.

I think everyone should ask- do you use Netflix- Do you use Apple TV- Do you use Hulu- Do you use MLB.TV? And how much hotspot does everyone use?

I think if your phone is unlocked and your phone has ESIM- I would try out the Verizon and/or ATT Trials and while you’re out and about- test the network out. For people thinking about switching- test and see if it will work for you- I would Run a few Speedtests- try using that network where you usually use T-Mobile- and compare.

I do not like the moves T-Mobile has announced- I am not happy- but I do think everyone should compare networks- weigh out if you don’t use any of the perks- maybe switching to Mint- or US Mobile Lightspeed that might be an option.

I have been using the Verizon trial and I have found a good amount of improvement and 5GUW in my area from last time but they have some really weak spots also in my area compared to T-Mobile.

I think everyone needs to weigh out all the things I mentioned as well as use the other network trials before you make a decision. I just wanted to pass some helpful info.

Here’s the latest on 5G Availability in my city. I’m in Louisville, KY.

AT&T- Not great or at least wasn’t last I heard and seen- some 5G+ but it’s just an okay carrier.

Verizon- They’re getting there- They have more 5G UW now then they did last time I tried them out- But if they lack a tower then they that can show. If A tower is right there Speeds can be so good and outperform AT&T or T-Mobile. If tower is right there it can easily go over 900-1 Gig down and up to 160-170 up. If you’re by a MMWave node it’s so good or a C-Band N-77 Tower.

T-Mobile- they have Maximum Tower Density here. Every tower has 5GUC Midband or just about every tower does. I get 300-500 down at least on average with many areas getting over the 1 Gig download mark easily.

I started the Verizon Trial a few days ago. I did the AT&T trial a while back.

If Verizon didn’t lack the tower density at Sam’s on Preston or a few other places I spend a lot of time in I would probably almost go to Verizon- but they do lack density in a few places I’m in compared to T-Mobile.

I think they’ve got to come out of their comfort zone and speak out forcefully what is happening in our country, they’re got to call CBS’s Actions out. They’ve got to get mean. I think that the time for being silent about current issues is past us and they’ve got to speak out. They just have to do it. When will it happen? Just when? I think it’s got to happen. I know there’s a lot of steep risks involved- but I think silence isn’t the answer in this current time either. I think it’s time to break tradition with the old rules, speak out and let whatever chaos happens in the short term happen.

I’m personally worried for the businesses that are especially by Fairgrounds, Shelby Street, Eastern Parkway, UOFL, Germantown and Old Louisville. I’m honestly worried about all those local businesses. Dairy Del, Dairy Kastle, Derby City Pizza that’s over on Eastern Parkway, The 2 El Nopal’s that are in distance of I-65, the 2 that are located in that area, Franks, and many other businesses. I know a lot of us are only thinking about the change in communte times but we should think about those local businesses too. They’re going to be losing some customers and will have to rely on people who decide to stop through traffic- those roads will be a mess- I’m really worried for them- I’m thinking about them.

PQ is still Amazing, A team of experts that know what they’re talking about. I hate a lot of changes Amazon has made to the Prime Video like remove 4K and No Ads and have to upgrade, but their Coverage of NASCAR and especially them showing Busch’s Famliy and how they did him with honoring him was great. I don’t know FOX would’ve did the same.

I have been going to a lot of college events but those are ending soon. I know there’s Bats Games and Louisville CITY FC and Racing Louisville Games but am also looking for Recreation Leagues that I could go watch.

I think it is time for all these big CEO's, Our Senators, House Leaders, BOTH PARTIES to STAND UP. I think it's time for Obama, Bush, Clinton, Harris, Biden to all go on TV to admit the SCARY TRUTH together. I think it's time for all the big corporations to say OH SNAP to Donald Trump and this ADMINSTRATION. It is time for the TV Networks, CONGRESS, All past Presidents and Vice Presidents, SUPREME COURT to all go on TV together to ADMIT THE SCARY TRUTH. You want to know something else I think a lot of these TV Network Hosts, and a lot of Politicans can DO WITHOUT for a little while? Their PAYCHECKS. Their PAYCHECKS. I honestly don't think a lot of them deserve a PAYCHECK right now. I think they can MANAGE just FINE without one for a Little while. I think unless they are actively speaking out that these folks can honestly do without one right now. I think the same for the REPORTERS who don't a spine to call this out. I personally feel that it is time for Risks to be taken. I feel that some risks have to be taken to get what I feel is a SCARY TRUTH EXPOSED to EVERYONE. I feel that THE MESSAGE isn't getting out enough. I hope that the days of these compainies BENDING THE KNEE to Trump will end very fast very soon. I feel IT HAS TO STOP. AT SOME POINT in TIME, Resistance and BRAVERY have to GROW. I think it is time to get this SCARY TRUTH said to the PUBLIC. I think it is time for it to be said. I'm ANGRY that there are too many POLITICANS on both sides, Corporations including ones that might not have been huge TRUMP Lovers before BENDING THE KNEE now. I think at some point risks have to be taken and it has to STOP. PERIOD. I worry about what bad this Admisration will do each day. I feel like it is time for the FIRE TO BE LIT UNDER THEIR ASSES. Sorry for this EXTREMELY LONG RANT, but I am just SO SICK AND TIRED of this admistration getting away with all their decisions that do not benefit the United States and the Compainies, Politicans and TV Networks that have BENT THE KNEE. At some point it has to all STOP. That is MY HONEST OPINION.
