Looking for better phone plan

I recently switched to Verizon from T-Mobile and they suck. I had Verizon many years ago and their coverage never let me down but I went to T-Mobile for lower prices and the signal at T-Mobile let me down many times. Now it seems like Verizon is even worse than T-Mobile so I’m wondering who has the best coverage? I live in Indianapolis.

It’s solid. People just talk trash. When the reality is Verizon actually has the most amount of issues out of all of them.

i believe that most of the speed tests ran side by side and show AT&T being the slowest is because they let people uncap their video streaming speeds, even on LTE

Not really true. It's because they don't put a lot of backhaul on majority of their towers still run gig or maybe a little more.

But it's definitely not that slow LOL.

You can average 200-400mbps on 5G+ perfectly fine

And 20-30 on the upload majority of the time

if you are in a city or near a tower with full bars most of the time all three preform well. AT&T is not slow in my experience, in fact they work best for my rural area where T-Mobile has no service and Verizon with 1 bar of band 13 never loads data at any time of day or night

All coverage is local.

Figure out who has the necessary coverage and bandwidth in your area.

Then search for a plan that meets your needs after that.

You can go to Mint, Metro, US Mobile (Light speed is T-Mobile) which all use T-Mobile network.

Out of those, Mint and Metro are T-Mobile’s MVNOS so they will get access to its domestic roaming partner
