T-Mobile
So far, T-Mobile 3G is very strong here, and consistent speeds too. About 5mbps down and 600kbps up, on nexus one. No dropped calls, good quality and very good reception throughout the metro. The only con is that T-Mobile does not have 3G everywhere, and in rural OK where they do have native coverage, its only GPRS (about 25kbps down and up), and it's not good for media intensive stuff, for example, streaming internet radio on a roadtrip. It's OK for email and GPS navigation. I think they're 3G expansion into new areas has sorta stalled or stopped, but I'm not sure.

I got the T-Bolt from Verizon. 4G is very good where I live, and 3G is good as well. This is tested indoors, so you should be good outdoors as well. Overall, the signal, data speeds and quality are good around the metro area. No dropped calls either. The only negative I have about Verizon is that they have a dead (flaky 1x roaming) spot on I-35 around after exit 79 to before exit 47 outside of OKC (the Arbuckle mountains area). If they could fill that area with 3G (or LTE) it would be awesome.

AT&T I've been with them for about 5 years and I'm not happy at all... I drive a semi truck for a living so I drive threw 48 states so that gotta explain all off it... 3G is usually in big cities as soon as u leave city limits u can say good buy to 3G and even when it's on its pretty damn slow... I can name few states where u gonna have signal issues is OK, KS, NE, ND, SD and all north of here and the list goes on and on... I dont think my IPhone 4 is bad I believe it's AT&T's poor signal... so this week sometime I'm gonna go to Verizon and get the thunderbolt htc... the reason Im gonna go with Verizon is my buddy is a truck driver and he runs the same route and he has Verizon so it's been compared the right way. Verizon all the way do not make mistake with att... Do your research, choose carefully!

We have had our phones for a yr and a half almost.Eveything was perfect untill april of this yr.All of a sudden it was taking a few mins for a call to go through and then we started gettin these weird tones when we tried to make a call.We called T-Mobile they said maybe the sim cards had gone bad.We took the phones to the T-Mobile store at Penn square mall and had them switched out and still got the tones.This only happens when we're at home anywhere else the phones work fine.Called T-Mobile again they looked into it and said there was a problem with the tower at NW 122 and Penn.They fixed the problem this was back in Aug. Here it is Oct guess what the tones are back again this time they are saying theres no Problem with the tower.They refuse to give us new phones because we've had them to long and wont give us any credit on our bill till they can find the problem and make sure its fixed for good.Well we are looking at Verizon because we're not going to pay for service that we cant use at home.Not going to jump in the car and drive down the road a few miles to make a call that we should beable to make at home.

Hey, living in Oklahoma right now, and I'm moving to Anchorage. My phone was broken, and I was thinking of switching to T-Mobile or Sprint and dropping Verizon. Just want an updated answer on how T-Mobile is doing up there as far as reception goes and 3g. I know they roam off of other peoples towers, but regardless how is at? Thanks.

I drop calls all the time. I can rarely have a conversation that isn't dropped!

I have to walk to the middle of the street to get reception. I have tried various phones and they all have had bad reception. When I started service it was Cingular. I am ready to find better service!

I get literally no reception inside my apartment. When I walk outside, I can SOMETIMES get 2 bars if I'm lucky. Furthermore, I work in an office near Penn Square Mall (50th and Penn) and while I get full bars of 3G throughout the day, it only works about 3% of the time from about 9:30-5:30. It's obvious they have capacity issues far worse than ATT ever did. First chance I get, I'm out.
