    Exactly especially out west hell even on interstates I may be able to call but Netflix forget it it annoys me one time I was so pissed off tried relocating like 6 times ended up in a ditch lol absolutely the dumbest thing I’ve done even offered to pay for toe I mean a wide open parking lot grant it pitch black and I thought it was flat but my trailer went into a nice ditch full of water all over no Netflix like I got to this place didn’t work on one end then went over to other end and it worked it’s a headache that toe would have never happened if Verizon was better! I would have parked an hour prior lol

    Pick your flavor. AT&T and Verizon are pretty equal across the board. I've had both at the same time before. Some places Verizon was better others AT&T. In the back woods of pa and upstate ny i get better coverage with AT&T

    Personal experience: I had Verizon from 02 until January of 2018. Switched to AT&T and ended up switching back to Verizon about a month ago.

    Verizon changed their Travel Pass plans and it was costing me a small fortune every month when I was running up into Canada every week. When I stopped going to Canada and started running the Midwest I realized how bad AT&T sucks in a lot of places so I ended up switching back to Verizon.

    The difference between men and boys is the price of their cell phones and service providers.

    Agreed! When I retired in 2012 I was using AT&T. I have since started using Metro. Metro works great for me because I rarely leave Hampton Virginia and when I do most of the time I get service. If however I was back driving I would stop using Metro. For me, my Iphone7 is my lifeline. I have 2 apps that absolutely MUST be able to communicate via the internet. Over the last 2 years, Metro has not let me down. Again, I acknowledge I am not moving about. Honestly, I hear more drivers say they like having Verizon than not.

    I had T-Mobile. Often didn't get coverage. In places in the boonies they did have coverage. It was so slow. It hardly worked at all. Then.... somebody else paid my bill. That's right. Somebody else. I did have a customer service person who tried to handle it well. But overall. Customer service was worse than awful on this.
    I switched to AT&T. I'm very happy. Very good coverage. Hardly anywhere I can't get coverage. One place I had a very slow connection with T-Mobile. AT&T had good coverage. I had to upload a scan of the BOL to the office. Place was in the boonies. I'm very happy with AT&T.
    Verizon did a wonderful job of chasing away a customer they had since Southern Bell created Verizon. Libeled me on my credit report. Demanded I pay for a phone they didn't provide. They lost a customer for life. I've had those reps at TA try to get me back. Tell me Verizon would give me something like $280 to come back. Since I have an iPhone 8. I told him I would be happy with $87 and an apology written to all the credit reporting agencies. This happened when pigs started flying.

    Netflix was apparently working for these guys when they were running across Wyoming. Just ask them what they were using....
