That seems to be the consensus, but Jerry Hildenbrand said he uses 4-6GB per month on ST. I really wish he'd elaborate on how he pulls that off and where he's located.

That's the point - no-one really knows when or why ST cracks down. Jerry's not doing anything special to 'get away' with it, he's just lucky.

In Chicago people (including me) experience lots of dropped calls with TMobile. Other than that TMobile beats ATT in every aspect.

I live in Chicago, used to be along the lakefront on the northside, now on the northwest side. I've been VoiceStream/T-Mobile customer for over 10 years. In all that time, you count the dropped calls I have had on one hand with fingers left over. T-Mobile is aces with me.

That's interesting that you see only 5 Mbps on average on att. That is about what I see here in the outskirts of LA. I am a little underwhelmed to say the least. You get 12 Mbps on GS3? So do you think there is something wrong with Nexus 4? Why would there be so much difference?

I've used the suggested APN setting that I found here, not the automatically detected one. I also tried creating an APN for LTE setting with the hopes of finding the band 4 overlap on att LTE, but that didn't work. *sigh*

My experience here in SoCal is that for the most part T-Mobile has better overall performance than at&t on the HSPA+ network. But LTE on AT&T is faster. As for coverage... T-Mobile has coverage everywhere I go. I travel a lot for work and every city I have traveled to has been 100% covered with excellent service by T-Mobile. And their prices can't be beat.

For my money. It is T-Mobile.

the $30/month, no contract (100 min voice, unlimited text and data [unthrottled to 5gb]) on t-mo is really sounding attractive to me at this moment. it is made more interesting by the fact that the ceo yesterday said the LTE is going live in las vegas in a couple of weeks. judging from the redeployment of hspa+ on a frequency to be compatible with iphones, i guess southern california is top of their list of cities to serve. LTE in LA-area might not be that far off. as soon as it does, there is NO question that i will jump to t-mo monthly and say goodbye to the grandfathered unlimited data from at&t.

If you are willing to spend $55/mo and a 2 year contract and are a huge data user, the absolute best plan available is the Tmo value nationwide unlimited everything. No caps, no limits and all at H+ speeds.

It's always case by case, location to location, but overall Tmo has the absolute fastest H+ speeds of any carrier.
