RoyB,
What carrier is T-Mobile... I think it is AT&T. One of them is gaining ground on the VERIZON coverage area... They claim only 2% difference now but don't tell in what area...

T-Mobile is, well, T-Mobile... They're the third largest carrier in the US and have been expanding their coverage significantly. They're still a ways behind AT&T and especially Verizon though. We dropped an unlimited 4G/LTE plan with them due to the lack of service in too many areas where we travel. Verizon and AT&T are serving us quite nicely though.
Be wary of those "percentage" claims made by competing carriers against Verizon. Sprint likes to claim their network is only 1% less reliable than Verizon for instance, but consider if we assume Verizon is 100% reliable (They're not, of course), then Sprint would have about 88 hours of downtime per year. That's a little over 3.5 days in total with no service! "Can you hear me now?" Nope, your network is down... ;)
