We have both AT&T and Visible (Verizon) data plans on hotspots connected to MIMO antenna sets. We've yet to land anywhere we didn't have service from one or the other, and usually both at varying levels.

Obviously you have never set foot in my area in NW PA..

Verizon might work fine in Pittsburgh or Philadelphia where the largest population is but not so much in smaller cities, towns and rural areas.

I did at one time have Verizon because they covered the route I used going to work and back but once I drove 2 miles away from the nearest city I lost all service for the next 15 miles until I got home. Verizon would only work if I walked out of my house, up the driveway 150ft but not in my house..

Ditched Verizon for Trac since the Trac service in our area offered phones that used ATT towers.. Was happy with that for quite a few yrs until DW had to replace a failing phone. The replacement phone for some odd reason would only work outside our home and she was no longer able to use her cell phone at her work which is located only 5 miles from our home..

Complained to Trac, Trac stated they the did not offer service in our area!

It was at that time we discovered that Trac and ATT had a falling out and was no longer offering the ATT tower option.. There is no mention of this on Trac website that they no longer offer ATT to new customers or customers replacing an existing phone.. You just suddenly discover you no longer have service in places that you did once have service..

Any service based off of Verizon nor Sprint towers work at my home location and ATT is the only option if you want reliability..

For that reason folks need to research what towers are available for each service as what I have found is the marketing maps do not always tell the truth.
