These anecdotal reports are generally useless except if you spend your time in the exact location where these reports originate. Different carriers have different network footprints, so vary a lot from place to place. One place T-Mobile may get much better reception, and then you travel 100 miles (or even 1 mile for that matter) and T-Mobile has the worst reception. As someone just pointed out, it has much more to do with how close you are to a cell tower where your carrier is transmitting from then the frequency they are using. A little over a year ago, my job got transferred to an army base and the reception in my building ranged from none to a very unstable 1 bar. In the summer, they finally got a new cell tower built and all of a sudden I was getting 4 bars. Doesn't matter where I am in the building, it's always 4 bars. I can go anywhere on the base and the same thing holds...
