T-Mobile (at times) showed some lower-quality RSRQ readings.  This seemed to happen more in populated areas (IE: around the Jacksonville, FL area) even though band N41 was being used.  This isn't the N41 that I typically see in my part of the country (PA) which goes up to 100Mhz of bandwidth.  The RAN performance of T-Mobile was still better overall (number of times RSRQ <= -5 was considerably higher and median RSRQ).  They used CA and had higher bandwidth available overall.
