Tmobile sucks - unlimited internet scam

[shayd]

All cell sites (aka towers but some have tower type antenna arrays some don't) connect to their respective switch or site controller by ISDN circuit aka t-carrier. T-Mobile actually has an ISP it purchased...Mobilestar or something like that...

Yeah, you're right, but here in San Francisco, all of their traffic goes through Comcast backbones, unless you're in a Starbucks.

All of their ISDN circuits are provided by one LEC, Comcast?? Usually a metro area the size of San Fran...would have several LECs which provide exclusive ISDN/POTS service in their exclusive area of the city. Hence, if for example T-Mobile built a site in an area serviced geographically by Pacific Bell (ATT) their ISDN connection to the switch would be provided by a Pac Bell ckt. Same with a Comcast area of the city, etc.

It would help if I didn't assume. I was referencing my specific area, without actually saying it, but regardless, they use a number of other companies hookups rather than utilizing their own.
