Hi,
I'm currently living in the suburbs, USA. I've been using T-Mobile for roughly a year and I'm looking for options to migrate over essentially because data is unreliable and coverage keeps dropping at random places, such as my college or the warehouse I work at. When there's coverage, the service is acceptable, yet it has its hiccups from time to time. What bothers me the most is the unreliability of the coverage in the area, not to mention the big city.I've been asking my classmates, coworkers and friends. There's mixed opinions as to which carrier I should try out. Boost Mobile seems appealing as it's cheaper and has very few good reviews among my circle, which signals less users and more likelihood to be stable.

I use T-Mobile and have only experience some signal issues and I live in BFE, Indiana. Signal is still spotty farther out, but if I am going out that far, I don't bring my phone... The nearest actual city is Bloomington, and I have zero issues there. My signal is full bars 80% of the time and data is extremely fast. I did a head to head speed test with three friends, one Verizon user and two AT&T users. I ended up having the fastest phone data.
I am still on a really old prepaid plan. $30/month, Unlimited text and data, with about 100 minutes. I am a cheap bastard and I do not talk to people, so it works well for me. As far as I know, there is nothing cheaper on the market right now.
Be advised that you could be losing signal in buildings due to their construction, not the carrier. I used to always have issues with signal on campus. Big concrete buildings with steel supports do not help signal strength.
Just my two cents.
