I'd agree to some extent - but to say that the days of T-Mobile being the
weakest network are still far from over IME. Ok, in most of the populated
parts of the country they're generally as good as any of the other networks.
But there are still far too many silly blackspots and problematic areas
compared with the other networks. I'd go so far as to say that, although
it's a lot rarer than it used to be, it's certainly not uncommon in my
experience to find a rural or remote area where T-M is the only network not
to exist. Yes it's a lot harder to find such areas, but still a) Not
uncommon, and b) A lot easier than finding them on one of the "big 3".

Cheers
