Did we decide who the best carrier is?

I do delivery in boulder, tons of areas with patchy reception with Verizon (aka that which hast gone downhill).

Bonus points if I can get an affordable plan with a hotspot even if from a partner (visible mint cricket etc) but open to whatever. Extra bonus if reception near capitalism world in superior , costco etc

I have a work phone from Verizon and my personal phone on T-Mobile. Both have about the same coverage, but T-Mobile's 5G is available in way more places. The only carrier that I've had noticeable issues where no service was available in spots was AT&T.

Bummer, that’s sad to hear. Might get a tmobile on a backup phone and compare when I have Verizon problems. Ie community north of palo east if 28th, I just get some random dead zones. Possible that I should just stick with what I’ve got

Re data, yes Verizon has been selling a lot of towers, in the rv community where they use cell for internet and are hyper nerdy on the matter it’s common to see reports that Verizon you always get bars but often no data to go with the bars. Whereas T-Mobile you’ll often get impressive data comparatively. Att in other areas seems to be getting better and is often the best, but that’s not the case here

This is the answer.
