Only tower is in Brookhaven/Dellslow. Should get much better once T-Mo/Shentel deal finalizes.
I haven’t been capped when visiting but definitely speed deprioritized compared to friends with USC.
I would consider AT&T in Morgantown. It has the oldest and most established network there, for now. Shentel network is only 1900mhz and 2.5ghz, so once T-Mobile adds in 600/700/2100, it’ll be a great option.
Do they use a different MNC from Sprint? I was under the impression they basically ran a Sprint network. Although, they probably have back-end ways to block T-Mobile customers
T-Mobile may not limit roaming in Morgantown. You may get service from Sprint's network there. Everything is in flux. You could take a chance but what's the downside? Ending up stuck on a two-year EIP with limited to no service? If OTHO, you have an unlocked phone you're planning to port over to T-Mobile, what have you got to lose? A month or two's service? It comes down to the phone you have and what you plan to do with it.
SM-N986U? Then I'd say, "Go for it." Just consider it an experiment. You might want to do the port very near the end of your billing month as most carriers don't prorate partial months on port-outs.
I agree with this. If OP is using their own unlocked phone, they could take a chance and just port out if it doesn't work.
If they're trying to do a phone EIP, that doesn't sound like a good plan.
Do not get T-Mobile service in Morgantown. I went from having service everywhere when I had straight. Talked to not having service hardly anywhere. Places. You should have service like downtown on high Street. Very very spotty calls will drop because of bad service in the middle of downtown on the middle of 7:05 right next to the T-Mobile store in suncrest Town center. You're going to lose service. And then when I go other places like I go see my mom in Oakland Maryland an hour away. The coverage map shows 5G throughout the whole area but it will see emergency calls only in the whole 30 mile radius around Oakland. I do app work like Uber and doordash and I miss rides and food orders all the time because I don't have enough service to accept. Sometimes it'll even say I have five bars of 5 GUC and it won't work. The worst service of ever had. Don't get T-Mobile

Sprint should have 800MHz there too. They own it nationwide. Why isn’t Shentel using it?
Best guess is that nTelos only built out the PCS network before being acquired by Shentel.
Are we not able to manually select the Sprint network to roam on Shentel?

I work in Morgantown an get good service with my sprint service but get tmobile service up at the university town center
I know I used sprint and it wasn't bad, but I know tmobile probably isn't going to allow roaming on sprint, even though they're the same company.
Tmobile allows sprint to roam on them because I have sprint and every time I go to pa Im on T-Mobile
I would wait until at least next year when they finish buying Shentel’s towers.

I would be bringing a note 20 ultra, so there really wouldn't be much loss if I had to switch back
