Just got a N4. Love the Phone. Hate TMo and ATT

[roadrat]

Have Verizon. Love the service, hate the phone (Galaxy Nexus).

after two weeks of "testing" TMo and ATT, I made a decision to stay with Verizon despite the less-than-stellar phone options and terrible software updates

What did you encounter with the other networks?

 

[roadrat]

Tmobile the problem was dropped (business) calls

Att is lack of service (voice and data) in some areas (I'm in Annapolis currently) particularly in buildings... But even outside in one area yesterday

If you live in a remote area like Annapolis your options are limited, here in the DC area the T-Mobile coverage is excellent

I can relate to those with poor coverage. We live right at the edge of mountains on 3 sides and no company has good coverage in all surrounding areas. I have 5 bars with AT&T at our house and also with t_mobile. 60 miles east where other family members live, Verizon is the only coverage. We did have prepaids with at&t and also Verizon just because of the coverage. There's no panacea, IMO.

I have AT&T I only get 4G on my Nexus and seems quite good in L.A.

The boon and curse of Verizon: great coverage, locked-in network. Until they stop mucking with every phone not made by Apple, I doubt you'll see another pure Google phone on their network again.

Annapolis is not remote. Except maybe to T-Mobile and AT&T. Not to Verizon.

T-Mobile coverage is excellent...if you're outside. In buildings it's pretty bad - I'm sitting at my desk right now in downtown Washington DC with no service on my T-Mobile N4 and full bars on my Verizon iPhone 4S. This has been the case at my last 3 work locations. I like Tmo but they're just not competitive in terms of network quality even in their high-coverage areas.

I'm on T-Mobile monthly 4G, switching from AT&T. At least in my are, Tmo is much better. I'm getting better service and about twice as fast data speeds. Granted, I don't have the ability to use Verizon with my N4, I wouldn't until they stopped price gauging its customers. That's why I left AT&T, so I wouldn't want to jump back in with another poor company.

It's always case by case. I'm sitting in my basement home office right now and get perfect reception, not to mention H+ speeds. I'm in suburban St. Paul

OP, what area are you in?

That's been my experience, too. I'm surprised because TMO is very successful in machine-to-machine communications such as utility meter reading, and a lot of M2M devices 1) are deep inside buildings and 2) require a reliable connection. So they should have great in-building coverage.
