Plan is too price for 3 GB Data and 3 phones $246 / mo! I'm going elsewhere if I can find reception on this low elevation street from a different service provider.

T-Mobile is most certainly offering better data service in this area than Verizon. T-Mobile's HSPA+ blows Verizon's LTE out of the water. Verizon LTE is averaging 6-8Mbps, while T-Mobile HSPA+ (not even LTE) is averaging 11-15Mbps. [Tests were performed with a Motorola G (t-mobile) and a Motorola X (verizon)]. Why pay 20% more for geographic coverage you use 0.1% of the time--especially when it's slower? For a family of 4, is it worth the extra $500-$1000 a year to have great service on your Labor Day weekend camping trip?

Great and very fast 4G LTE service. Have ran speedtests and the 4G LTE is much faster it seems than ATT or Verizon.

Have had Verizon for over 10 years. Their pricing is ridiculous but I have stayed with them because the service is fantastic everywhere I have been: Northern Wisconsin, (lower) UP, Chicago, Indiana, Atlanta, and Columbia, SC. My current service is still great. Unfortunately I can no longer afford such high pricing and will probably switch carriers within the next few months.

I have always had spotty reception at home but in the last 2 months its gotten twice as bad. Most of my texts want go through even with 3 bars. I have been with Sprint for 10 years, its time to move on.

I have been living in the same house for almost three years with great reception. Recently, I have been getting poor receptions. My phone works fine everywhere else in Columbia. AT&T has been giving me the run around about this issue.

Good Coverage here in Forest Acres. Cant wait until the refarm hits so I wont drop to 2G that much. Call quality is great, but I have to use wifi calling in my apartment because building penetration isn't as strong. Overall good value for your money. Cant wait until Columbia area get LTE.

3G data service very rarely works inside my home and outside. It is a scam to offer unlimited data when I cannot access the internet unless I am using my TWC internet service via router / wifi. Very unhappy with Sprint.
