T-Mobile Service in NYC

[GAPY427]

I'm considering switching from AT&T to T-Mobile because of AT&T's rooting issues with Android phones. My service with AT&T in Manhattan has been very good, i.e., in my apartment, at work, etc. Can anyone comment on T-Mobile's service here? I keep seeing its TV ads about having the "fastest" LTE in the US. Thanks.

Found some sites on the internet that might describe the service in the area:

I have good coverage on T-Mobile with very fast LTE coverage. Only in buildings the service is less good because they use different bandwidth. But you can always use wifi calling and they supply also an LTE and phone modem for free to place in spots if the coverage is not good. Overall I'm very happy with them.

I work in Midtown, around 54th and Madison. Service for me is excellent in the area and holds strong throughout my walk to Penn Station as well. Only weak areas for me are when actually underground sitting on the NJ Transit train waiting for it to leave. I'll generally still have LTE, but it will be weak.

I'm I'm NY. It's good. If you under subway area, it may not work obviously.

True. The E line works pretty well, but some of the longer runs between stations will see it drop.
