AT&T, coverage has been great, price is good with discount from work and bundled with DTV. speeds seem to have gotten worse though which is disappointing. Looked at VZW and TMO, but both would have been more expensive and I couldn’t get unlimited from either.
 
T-Mobile in central Ohio, 2 lines, unlimited everything, 60.00/month.

Verizon had better coverage, but we get by ok.

A sprint customer since 2011, switched to Verizon a few weeks ago, and could not be happier. Living in Colorado, specifically the North metro area, work in the Denver Tech Center, and travel into the high country every so often, speeds and coverage are fantastic.

I have not encountered any congestion or poor coverage areas. It is 20 bucks more then sprint, but worth it.

I understand that Sprint has made some pretty big improvements in Denver. I know it was pretty bad there for a few years though.

It’s not held up very well, 2018 wasn’t a good year for Sprint in the areas I live and work. LTE would drop to 3G, or speeds would be super slow.

Also.. the coverage is still lacking, it was time to leave. After checking some crowd source maps, especially in the Mountains, I went with Verizon. The coverage in Colorado for Verizon is amazing.

I had AT&T for the longest time but recently switched to T-Mobile. I'm saving a bit of money and still have comparable coverage in the places I use my phone the most. Data speeds seem higher as well.
 
T-Mobile. The tmo one all in promo plan is just too good to let go for how much they charge for me an my wife (unlimited 2 lines for 100 flat). Coverage is awesome here in Las Vegas and it’s great when we go SoCal (Though Disneyland back last Oct wasn’t exactly great coverage and speeds). Can’t wait to try them out when we visit Colombia and Europe for a month in Dec.

Just recently switched to Verizon. Let me tell you, unlimited data is a revelation. I’ll never go back to anything less. Get great coverage with Verizon, one reason I got it is it gives me service at my cabin which ATT did not.

And to have your Video throttled! All Verizon customers have there video throttled unless they pay $10 more a month

They all throttle video to 480p from what I've seen. AT&T and T-Mobile do this too.
 
I used AT&T for 12 years and about two weeks ago switched to Verizon. AT&T had been ok for the most part but recently service was terrible. No service in big crowds (Concerts, festivals), no service when I would go inside the gym and no service at work. Verizon is 100X better, I'm never looking back.

We use Verizon and have for many years. I would really like to switch to a less expensive carrier but we’re retired and own a motorhome and travel all around the country. Verizon definitely has the best overall coverage and it’s important to us to have cell service wherever we happen to be. If we didn’t travel as much I would choose the carrier that has good coverage at home and is the least expensive.

O2 due to their good coverage where I live and access to Priority Moments which can come in useful for discounts. You can also unlock your device at anytime for free and pay off your contract with a 25% discount if needed.
 
T-Mobile. I live in the DC Metro area, so T-Mobile is a superb service and fast. LTE/4G is quick with 0 issues. It’s cheaper and just as fast and reliable as AT&T and Verizon. Sprint is still a joke here. I switched back to T-Mobile from Sprint in 2013, and have been happy since with the service, price and customer service. The only issue I had was we were in Davenport, FL for 10 days this past summer for vacation and everything but Verizon was horrible. Hopefully next summer before go to Florida for vacation, the service is better. Even driving 12+ hours down there and home my service was fantastic.
