We've had tmobile for 15 years and never had an issue. There are a handful of places were someone with Verizon had coverage that we didn't. And by coverage I mean we have no bars and they have 1 maybe 2 bars.
Personally I value costs and we have saved $1ks over the years vs. Verizon.
The reality is now days everyone piggy backs off everyone else's towers so coverage quality is minimal.
We have 4 phones all unlimited everything and pay $148 a month.
