In my experience, mobile connectivity just keeps getting better and better. I have lived on both US coasts and traveled to multiple developing countries, and even in places like Zimbabwe I had pretty great connectivity considering where I was.

To clarify ....

When I spoke of "quality of service" above, I didn't mean technical service (although for some carriers it can be a factor), I meant customer service.

I think you'll struggle to find anyone who will say their carrier's customer service has improved in recent years. Carrier customer service, irrespective of what country you live in, is generally globally accepted to only be in the "awful to non-existent" range.

My experience with T-mobile US is one of the things I'll rarely gush over. They are hands-down the best customer service I've ever gotten from a carrier.

Even with several friends/family on our 10-line plan (to share costs) - it's been a breeze to maintain.
