I’ve been looking at the coverage both nationally as well as internationally.

According to what I’ve read, Verizon has the best coverage nationally.

AT&T is pretty close, and their international coverage is great.

We live in the boonies, which is why my cell reception isn’t great. I’m hoping the upgrade will make a difference.

I have AT&T and generally hate no major complaints. Coverage is OK, but I’ve been surprised a few times when there was no coverage. Also no ATT hotspots in some airports, which I think is ridiculous. Mostly problems come up when traveling out west in the US. I think all providers charge too damn much for data plans, but that is another story.

I live in an area without good cell coverage. I use ATT and bought a micro cell which boosts the signal in my house.

I have no problems with ATT coverage in the little towns around me.

Also live in boonies. Consider a booster antenna for your home. Since getting one the I phone has also been primary source of Internet service.
No more dial up as house phone is also through AT&T wireless

Because of hills and forest the satalitte dishes for Internet would not work
Cell service solved the problem
