Which has the best coverage is not as important than who has the RIGHT coverage.
Verizon has the best coverage.. But.. I'm not a fan of Verizon, and other companies are making up ground fast.
But some of the places I need coverage.. Verizon has nothing.. but T-Mobile works
Other places no T-Mobile or Verizon, but Sprint (And it's derivatives like Virgin Mobile) work.
I should point out that there are a lot more cell companies than there are service providers.. Virgin mobile buys from Sprint. Trac Phone from assorted companies. Smart Phone, I do not know. But far as I know those above are the only nationwide providers.

Excede is faster and less ping time,,, but.... is not compatable with mobile life style since they spot beam.
