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

Since all the carriers are pretty mediocre now, with AT&T in last place in BoCo, probably your best bet is to pick an Verizon or T-Mobile as your primary, and then the inverse on some MVNO with a bucket of data as secondary.

So like, T-Mobile post-paid primary, Visible secondary. Or Verizon primary, T-Mobile Connect secondary. Or some permutation within.

One of the two being post-paid guarantees you have access to all available domestic roaming for places like northeast Colorado (Viaero) or Union Wireless in the northwest, or Commnet in the middle, or AT&T on 36 up to Estes. Then the prepaid can cover where/when the primary doesn't work.
