TMobile is darn near perfect. I've used Sprint and AT&T in the past and been disappointing with dropped calls all over town. I wish T-Mobile had a better selection of phones, but if you want to go for what matters (coverage, AND customer service) its a No Brainier - TMobile is #1 in the Fort.
Throughout Fort Collins and Windsor my reception is terrible. I've had the phone drop 7 times driving through town during 1 phone call. I have basically no reception at my house (one to two bars at most, and it drop the call most of the time).
It really varies alot around town. My new house is actually better than my old one was by City park. I regularly get some garbling of my caller's voice and have to listen carefully and ask them to repeat things often. Verizon must have discontinued a few towers on the north end of town in the last year or 2 because it used to be better.
Some dropped calls from my house and a lot of breaking up. I have to go outside to the middle of the yard for fair reception. Does not work at all in the mall on College. Great on I-25 but drops service altogether on Hwy. 14 between Ft. Collins and Ault. I have also had, in the past 4 years, Sprint and AT&T. I think overall Verizon worked better but their phone costs are so high for what you get I think I'll go back to AT&T.
Generally pleased with Verizon. Good coverage in general around Fort Collins and up and down I-25 (I've never had a dropped call when outside or in my car anywhere in Fort Collins). I've also been very pleased with nationwide coverage when traveling, and FWIW Verizon customer service is pretty decent. Unfortunately, one of the weakest areas in FC that I've run into is right near our house in Parkwood East. There, the signal is weak but usable around our home and inside on the main floor and upstairs, but not usable in the basement. Signal improves significantly within 1 / 2 mile in any direction. Notably, our older Motorola v710 phones would work OK in the basement, but not the Motorola Q smartphones.
The AT&T reception in this area is a bit spotty but generally alright EXCEPT in my office where it is non-existent. I have to go outside the building to get or make calls. While apparently Verizon's service is, overall, crappy around here apparently it is pretty good in my office.
