I've been happy with T-Mobile and I go *all* over the place in LA and deep into the Santa Monica mountains and canyons. We get three lines and 2GB/line for $89 after taxes. My experience is that T-Mobile is weakest in national parks; ATT is best there.However:
most people use their cell phone at work or at home and then they have favorite places that they go outside of those (eg, the beach, Santa Monica mountains, etc ).Your happiness with your cell reception is extremely terrain dependent on your location and that of the particular carrier's tower. So whether somebody else has good reception at their home or work is completely irrelevant to your home or work specifics.If you want to get a idea of how various carriers work in the locations that are relevant to *you*, you need to go to a crowdsourced coverage map. My go-to open source coverage map used to be rootmetrics, but then ookla bought them, and they've put it behind a subscription wall now. They have a 5G coverage map available but that seems a bit ahead of need.Your query prompted me to see if there are alternatives.Opensignal shows individual cell nodes, but only along certain streets. If you're on that street, great, if not, it's not useful. They also don't let you zoom in as close as rootmetrics didAttached is what it shows for Manhattan Beach T-Mobile performance green is better). ATT and Verizon have slightly different problem areas since they don't all share the same antenna locations. These are also visible on OpenSignal.
Netinfo also shows carrier results, but I haven't found where they hid the results map. There's a few others. The FCC also has a coverage map, but it only shows you if there's any coverage not what the signal strength is.

Considering moving away from AT&T and getting T-Mobile, Mint or whatever. Both are cheaper, but there may be more things to consider or maybe a better option.

Steve, I think you may have missed the point of using a crowdsourced map.
