Here to update anyone who’s interested in the 2a that lives in Illinois and uses T-Mobile.
So far being out on the road, coverage seems to be at a solid 5g, no issues for the most part. Haven’t seen it drop to 4g at all. I have not seen 5g+ like I do on my phone 2. Some lag here and there but I think that it’s the phone cause it’s not related to service .
Only issue I have faded was yesterday while listening to my music while driving in the rain. It was very choppy and loosing connection every so often. Not bad enough to stop entirely. Just some standard connection issues .
I do highly recommend the device to anyone who usually gets strong connection with T-Mobile, you shouldn’t face any issues
