T-Mobile
I've had T-Mobile since they started in business, moved from ATT who I had since 1984, yes 1984. Outside of Montana service on Bainbridge Island is horrific. If you have T-Mobile and move to PNW, switch! They are even based here and my office in SLU, next to T-Mobile office 0 bars! I have thief range extender amplifiers and still get ZERO bars at home and ZERO bars at office.

Awful coverage with Verizon. I had Sprint when I first was exploring the area and it didn't seem bad. With Verizon despite living within a mile of the city center and the freeway I rarely have LTE and there are periods of 10 to 30 minutes where my phone stops sending and receiving text messages.

Always have lost calls - and don’t receive calls. Bad.

Coverage is very congested downtown. Data times out. Calls drop to 3G instead of LTE. WiFi calls not handing off properly to LTE. Don’t count on service near the convention center during anything major. You’ll see 3 / 4 bars of LTE, but if you can dial out, your call is sure to drop. The experience downtown with Verizon is definitely not worth premium charge.

I used AT&T prepaid with no issues for over a year. From West Seattle to Bellevue to First Hill, calls over 4G were clear and no issue with dropping. The LTE was blazing fast on my iPhone 8+. Even had decent coverage on the 11th floor of my office building downtown.

Terrible reception at home, and throughout most of the island. Constant dropped calls. LTE indicator is at 2 bars max, most of the time 1 bar only. LTE coverage frequently disappears. Overall, strongly recommend against Verizon on Mercer Island. Prior to switching to Verizon (didn't bother to check given the national reputation), used AT&T and the service was great.

Since I upgraded my phone (2 phones ago) the reception was nil. My neighbor's employer sprung for a signal booster since he works from home. That was the only thing that improved my reception.

Verizon is a huge huge JOKE in Puget Sound- period! I can all 4 bars of LTE alright... .but service is still damn too slow! So either data streaming in choked or some other gimmit is in play. Very unfortunate and sad. Seriously contemplating switching back to AT&T!
