The only thing I can contribute is that it all matters not if the building in which I work, right in the midst of the most populated area in the U.S., causes me to have no signal with T-Mobile from the time I start work until I leave, while others with different carriers do not encounter a significant issue. I recently switched to T-mobile after hearing all the praises. I'll be leaving again very soon.
Admittedly, when I am in an area with a signal, the speeds are pretty good. I was quite shocked a few months ago shortly after I had switched to T-Mobile when, while on a trip to Florida, in a restaurant, I was the only person in my group who had absolutely no service. Everyone else had at least four bars. T-Mobile has certainly gotten better, but it has some problems just as the others do.

T-mobile squeaks out the lead at 12.3 megabits, VZ at 12, and AT&T in the 6 / 7 range along with sprint in the 7 - 8 range. (This is LTE coverage) On 3G T-Mobile trounces the competition with the fastest 3G speeds by far. Coverage is also in T-Mobile’s favor with 81% of the population covered, verizon is at 86% as threader in coverage and Sprint lags far behind at 70%. (again 4g LTE coverage) In terms of the globe, the US is now in the top 10 of nations in terms of coverage with over 80% of the country covered by LTE. However, in terms of speed we’re far behind countries like Singapore and New Zealand with their average speeds at 30+ megabits. Remember though these are much smaller countries with much more dense networks. For a country our size we’re doing great as far as rollout goes.
