Nearly a three way tie with T Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon? Whoa! :eek: I wasn't expecting T-Mobile to rank so highly. Go team pink!

Disclaimer: I use Verizon, but I find T-Mobile to be awesome and I love how they are pushing the industry forward. Verizon and At&t are just following.
 
I have T-Mobile, and have for about 3 years. It's never treated me poorly. I live in Northeast Pennsylvania, so when I first hopped on board, service wasn't constantly reliable, and if I left the confines of the city, I lost service. Every single year it's been improving, and in no short terms. Now, 3 years later, it works like a charm all. the. damn. time. Now I can go easily over 20 miles outside the city into deep woods and still have service. LTE speeds are out of this world, my phone is faster at data loading than many of my friends who are on AT&T and Verizon. I have no reason to ever leave T-Mobile, they treat their customers very well, and in my opinion, put the other carriers to shame. Without T-Mobile, we'd probably still have awful two year contracts, crippled data plans, and ridiculously priced "nickel and dime" fees.
 
AT&T here. I gave T-Mobile a try last fall, mainly because I travel internationally quite often. I tried to convince myself that service was great and comparable to AT&T, but in reality, it wasn't. Just too many weak or no service areas where we never had it before. I finally came to my senses and realized the convenience abroad wasn't worth the inconvenience at home, no matter how much I was saving. I came back to AT&T after a month. I'm a DTV customer, so the new UDP with my veteran discount is a win for me. YMMV

On this forum at&t has always dominated because that carrier was the only one that carried the original iPhone. Over the years att has lost iPhone customers to VZ and now in increasing numbers, TMO. The big 3 all work great in my area with VZ taking the lead and TMO close 2nd. If TMO worked just a tad better- especially in one particular area where I tested (and frequent often) and dropped calls, I would switch to them. VZ has better plans and prices now than before because of TMO. I like competition. And therefore I like TMO...

I pushed you out of At&t where I switched back from T-mobile. :)

I don't like VZ limited 0.5 Gb/day in Canada/Mexico.
How do you like VZ in the area?

Lol, how many times have you swapped carriers in the past few months...
 
Verizon here. Was a at&t customer for 17 yrs and switched to Verizon 4 yrs ago. Couldn't be happier. Inside and in rural areas. Excellent coverage.

3 times.
I went from At&t toT-mobile, then to VZW, back to T-mobile and then to At&t. It was a pain. VZW doesn't work in my family member business place and slow in my place. It is perfect elsewhere. At&t works almost everywhere I need. My local VZ site is up to upgrade soon, this is wht they told me. Never in my life I changed my mind like this. I was 11+ years with Cingular/Att and I increased network change number to be an average user LOL
