Hey Michael, I previously worked in the telecommunications industry for about 5 years for a few different companies in a variety of different roles. In my opinion here's the breakdown of a few providers, I hope this helps!
As far as High speed internet your best two bets are Verizon & Sprint. They have by far the best coverage and fastest speeds though other providers like Alltel seem to be catching up fast. Nextel Data (if you can still find it), and AT&T are by far the slowest. Sprint data plans for phones are usually much cheaper as well (Their Treo & MS mobile EVDO access are only $15 a month) The best overall coverage area are Verizon & AT&T, and you typically are going to have the best coverage with them. However you will always find an area that one provider doesn't work, and other providers do. That or ONLY one provider has decent coverage in a specific spot. The Nextel service is really only good for 2 things, having a phone that can be abused more then any other, and push to talk. Nextel hands down owns these two categories, however everywhere else they are extremely lacking. As far as customer service goes I would probably have to go with Alltel. Sprint Sero plans are pretty nice, I have my wife and mother in-law on the setup and it's a good deal.
