What cell carrier are you using, and how is their coverage/reliability?

Years ago I went with Verizon. I had Sprint previously, and had coverage problem. Verizon has been fine. However a lot of time has past, and maybe the others have stepped up their game.

I figure this could be useful.

I have Verizon for my personal cell and AT&T for my work cell. For most places, I have not noticed much of a difference.

all carriers have excellent coverage in NYC. The issues are when you go outside of metro NYC and where generally Verizon is good everywhere and Sprint/T-Mobile take turns sucking in specific regions

I have two phones, my personal phone is with Sprint and my work phone is on Verizon. I use them both all the time and don't have any signal/coverage issues with either phone in the city or on LI. I get better service with the Verizon phone when I'm out of state in remote areas. However I pay only a fraction of what I did when I was on AT&T. I'm very happy with Sprint's service so far.

T-Mobile personal, Verizon work

Verizon is clearly the best but its expensive. I've been with T-Mobile close to 10 years and they dont even offer my unlimited data plan anymore so I will be staying with them until I'm dead or something changes.

T-Mobile but I am on someone's else plan. Years ago I had a Verizon which seems to have better coverage at that time but I don't know now if there is any difference.

I started with T-Mobile almost a decade ago, and I always thought it was great. I never had coverage issues. I switched to Verizon only because I had a work discount, and I actually preferred T-Mobile, and am now thinking of switching back. I know T-Mobile has much better international rates, which is important to me. T-Mobile has stepped up its game.

Currently have AT&T which works just fine even upstate or cross country, don't notice a difference. My T-Mobile days the service kind of sucked by it was cheaper so I didn't mind. Verizon was the most expensive but I used to get service in basements while other carriers didn't, but that was more than a decade ago so don't know if the other carriers have stepped up their game.
