Also in LA and I find 4G is not very reliable. Who is your carrier? I use verizon. Speeds are bad and my connection drops all the time. I'm by ktown so maybe it's the density at play compared to other areas.

T-Mobile. Was a Verizon user until 2011 or 12. Actually when I switched T-Mobile felt like an upgrade in LA (especially it worked inside buildings that Verizon didn't), it was not great in rural areas but never had problems in LA.

Second this. Verizon was basically unusable in wide swaths of the LA metro area but TMobile is unusable in wide swaths of rural areas. In mountainous areas like San Diego east county it becomes even more annoying: the I8 has decent coverage until like El Centro, CA (enough to stream HD video) but even a km from the freeway the signal completely disappears. Often times the only real option is AT&T.
