So, Hurricane Michael happened. Wiped out a lot of infrastructure - Xfinity is totally wiped out.
Most importantly, it reaffirmed how I really want to get somewhere else ASAP.
But we're going to poke around T-Mobile's network settings. Service was fairly restored around three days after the storm, and worked nicely until Thursday the 25th. While we had service, we were stuck on "emergency calls only" .
Why? I don't know. The first rep my father talked to wasn't quite aware of what was happening, but sent us a signal booster, so yay for more things to learn.
We could get the signal. We just didn't know why our phones - Two Samsungs and a LG - were no longer friends with the nearby tower.
So I took things into my own hands - With everything else happening, he was content to take their word for it, but I know abnormal behavior when I see it - and talked through direct message on Twitter to the company .
Also, I'm not here to bad-mouth the carrier. They've really stepped up and helped out . The problem is solved, I just wanted to show the documentation.
Check out some screenshots;

The point of interest here is the upper right. No bars, just searching.
