Lakershaker-
We switched to T-Mobile this summer and are on the Northwest broad side of Rattlesnake getting 6-8mpbs of LTE. It is 100% due to the new Band 12 that you mentioned. I figured this out when we tried to use an older Samsung J7 phone (not Band 12) and it would barely work but that same T-Mobile SIM in a Nexus 5x (Band 12) worked great. When we go over to Cow island to visit friends, the reception disappears, and when we go down to the Southeast/Alton Bay corner of Rattlesnake the coverage also drops off. Definitely dependent on exactly where you are trying to get service.
We went with T-Mobile because it works so well at our property and using one of the MVNOs of T-Mobile called MintSIM and we're getting 10GB for $20/mo taxes included.
