    I have used verizon for a couple of years. Great coverage. But from what I hear they do not have the unlimited plan anymore.

    varies a little...

    Myself, I'm going with T-mobile, since they are the only major player that still does unlimited. I'm Western 11, so coverage is as good as it can be

    really? T-mobile (NO-MOBILE) has wireless cards now. i have phone with them now, got ATT wireless for laptop though. as soon as contract is up with NO-mobile they can kiss..........
    ATT wireless is ok coverage the web is REALLY quick when you are near a big city and get the "3G" connection. almost as fast as my broadband at home from cox cable.

    given the routes I travel, for me it's not a coverage issue. It's a bandwidth issue. I can burn up 5G in no time

    Verizion all the way, i travel frequently and so far unless you are completly in the boonies you can get a decent signal and be on in no time, and good customer service to boot, always a cheerful voice on the other end, now i know they are supposed to do this but hey its nice to hear it anyway:biggrin_25525:

    I run mostly Eastern US. I use a Sprint Card.
    Works very well in many areas, and very fast near any City.
    Totally Unlimited.
    In areas around City's it is almost as fast as my service at home. But I have yet to find any area totally dead. I can always get some signal.
    Wait....I cannot get a signal in Springfield MO or Independence MO.
    But that may be the cave walls blocking it lol.

    Sprint no longer offers unlimited - I tried.

    yeah, the cave may be interfering. Maybe if you used a bigger antenna? :)

    If you are in the West Virginia area unless you are around one of the so called larg city then you will not get to much from any of them. I was told it is as good as your phone but dont get very good reception on the phone to many dead spots my .02
