Be me, flying into the US and not wanting to get hit with huge roaming charges so I buy a SIM at one of those booths at LAX before switching to a domestic flight. T-mobile has a good deal so I get that and it all works nicely. Catch my flight to DFW, then change to the flight to Grand Island, Nebraska. Land, pull out my phone, no signal. Nada. The whole week I was there, nothing. Everyone told me I should have gone with Verizon which is the only network that works there, but my GSM phone wouldn’t work on it.
Oh, and Nebraska, seriously, got taken on a tour of the place and there were literally cows and tumbleweeds. I’ve got photos of those because I’ve never seen them before, but wow. Also, the food was terrible. Worst steak I’ve ever eaten was in Nebraska, gristle, tough as an old shoe and bland.
Out of curiosity, anyone happen to know the real answer as to why there is a Nebraska shaped hole? It seems like there should be a story here. Did they make 5g illegal there or something?
All 3 Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile always show full coverage in most populated areas of Colorado, but it is such a lie. There are holes everywhere, even in the middle of town!
Could this have something to do with how the state reports data or rather can’t? I remember Nebraska specifically was excluded from Covid stats when the NYT was showing figures for the whole country and the whole world
Btw T-Mobile can mark anything pink until otherwise stated.
If you have tmo and it claims to be a 5g or LTE area and you don’t get signal you can report it to the fcc here https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us
And either tmo or really any provider has to change their map accordingly and or get hit with a fine along with directly answering you.
Also do this with internet, tv, or any fcc covered service because companies have monopolies and funding over regions they cover and if let’s say ATT says they cover your area even if they don’t other companies like Xfinity might not enter the space along with ATT getting taxpayer money
Well the Nebraska Cornhusker haven’t done shit in College Football 🏈 lately. It’s terrible cause Nebraska was a very good college football team back in the day
Lincoln was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster on the wild salt marshes and arroyos of what became Lancaster County. Renamed after President Abraham Lincoln,
I dumped T-Mobile after they swallowed Sprint and couldn’t give me reliable service in my own home within city limits.
No it makes sense. Have you been to Nebraska? Cows and corn don’t use cell phones.
I’m not mad….
If it’s any consolation to Nebraskans … This is the treatment T-Mobile has been giving Germany ever since that brand’s creation.
*Enriched title:* Fuck Nevada, Arizona, Fuck Idaho, Fuck Utah Oregon, and Fuck Nebraska in particular.
There’s no T in Nebraska.

To paraphrase Wanda Sykes, that shit ain’t nothing but rocks and coyotes.
M O O N that spells Nebraska
Based on my service the hot pink areas don’t mean what they want you to think they mean.
My guess is that the service provider (the folks who lease space on towers) wanted too much $ and each side in the negotiations said go fuck yourself
Source: worked in wireless many (!) years ago and some of those folks can be proper assholes
Don’t pretend like you cared about us before
Can’t cover corn

A quarter of Nevada is madness
Also every provider says Screw West Virginia. The mountains make it too hard for them to put all the antenna I guess.
I knew someone else would point this out!!!
Corn doesn’t need to make phone calls.
You don’t need to be posting pics of your Runza on social media.
They are lying about Nevada! I can’t get reception in my home and have to rely on wi-fi calling.

I mean, almost half the states population lives in Omaha or Lincoln.
And a lot of West Virginia
It’s amazing how much of that T-Mobile coverage map will turn into light pink when you zoom in on it because it’s “extended” coverage.
I’m just amazed at the coverage T-Mobile says it has already. I find myself suspicious.

Warren Buffet has Verizon.
“Except in Nebraska!” Steve Ballmer
It’s a conspiracy against the nation’s only unicameral government!

All the carriers have this gap.
Anybody know why?
Could it be because of Viaero?
This here’s US Cellular territory!

More like “No-bars-ka”.

This map is at least 5 years old, the new map covers the whole state of Nebraska.

You’re walking in Nebraska, there’s no one around, and your phone is dead.
From the corner of your eye you spotted him.

Corn doesn’t need 5G
Yet the service is still garbage
TMobile lists my area as 5g excellent coverage, but 90% of my town has no coverage at all.
