You picked the wrong carrier for your son unless you’re in western New York.

Either TMobile or Verizon is way better.

Sounds like a philosophical problem, unless you’re really in the boonies.

It was a few years back but I drove a lot all summer and found that they all sucked.

No doubt. I would say it may be different today. Particularly with TMobile — they utilized Sprint spectrum really well and made a laughingstock service credible. (But that varies by region!)

In very rural areas, as I’m sure you are well acquainted with, terrain drives everything they don’t try to fill gaps caused by hills etc.
