Default Schwab can't be beat

I use Charles Schwab and I don't see how they can be beat. I have 3 IRAs, a brokerage account and a checking account. There are no fees on any accounts, and they refund all ATM fees every month. In other words, there is no cost to me unless I buy or sell a security. They have numerous no-fee ETFs and Mutual Funds with fees of less than .1 percent. Their smart-phone app, which I rarely use, seems to allow me to do whatever I would need to do. I can buy either Vanguard or Fidelity Funds or ETFs, and I have several Vanguard ETFs in the Schwab accounts.

Better yet, if I have a question, I have never failed to get a live, American English speaking rep on the phone in less than 60 seconds, and if they don't know the answer to my question, they transfer me quickly to someone who does. I don't know how you can get any better than that!
