I've been with Tmobile since they were VoiceStream.

In Minneapolis and the surrounding suburbs the coverage is great. If you stay on a major highway while traveling around the state, it is still good. Once you leave those highways is when you notice the difference.

Every spring I do a Steelhead fishing trip with my buddies in northing MN on Lake Superior. This is when I curse Tmobile. For the past 4 years we have stayed at the same lodge. My buddy who is on Verizon can stream netflix via 4G while I can't even make a call. Also when we are in the middle of nowhere hiking streams, he can talk to his wife and kids and again, I get no service.

That being said, trips like that don't happen often and while annoying, I can live with it. The cost of 3 lines for my family is $145 per month. We priced out a similar plan at Verizon (after a fishing trip) and it was around $230.
