Not exactly true, as internet service based on cellular service is highly dependent on location.

Location, location, location.

I've written previously about our recent experience in Marsh Bend. Three years ago, ATT, Verizon, and T-Mobile were all pretty bad until they upgraded the towers on Marsh Bend Trail and Meggison just south of Warm Springs.

Now, ATT is best, Verizon is 2nd, and T-Mobile is 3rd.

Your service may be better or worse depending on where you live and how you use your phone. Newer phones or access devices may be better, too.

Alas, coverage maps alone won't tell you everything.

Good luck selecting a service. Talk to your local neighbors about their experience. Someone living a mile away may have a different experience altogether.

I have T-Mobile 5G home internet in the village of Monarch Grove and consistently get >600M down load speeds, more than enough for all of my TV's and devices. They also have a router built in to their gateway device providing WiFi and I stream TV service through youtube TV. So, there is no need for comcast, at least in my situation.

Good post!

Always include location information to help people better.

As I mentioned previously, location, location, location!
