I have shit service at all of the above with a brand new IPhone. Does AT&T just suck now? Verizon the way to go?

I have AT&T service with an older IPhone and experience excellent service in most of the areas you listed.

I’m speaking towards data more than anything. I can maintain a phone call but I can barely stream music in these areas

Ive rented out my hot spot password on my ATT phone to Verizon users in TX WY and W Virginia.
I’m renting it out right now in WY to 2 coworkers with Verizon.
They’re paying in whiskey, but still.

There has been times when my ATT was not the best in a certain location, but overall it’s been better than any other carrier with data all across the nation.
Can’t speak to your area though, I don’t go there.

I’m in Riverside and AT&T sucks balls.
My cell phone is slower than snail snot on it.
Turn it off and use Verizon on the phone and is instant.

I’ve actually sent ol RD a text in the past saying your site is acting up.
And he told me it was my end.
And, he was right😂

If you have a new iPhone with 5g you’ll need to call the provider to update the service if you previously had a 3-4g phone and transferred the SIM card. Had the same issue. Couldn’t figure why the hell my phone had no service.

I have noticed my Verizon iPhone for work (I think it's a 12) can be slower than dog shit where my 2 year old Samsung on the same network is blazing fast. And no, I don't have much of anything running on my iPhone. Seen it happen many of times when compared to others on their iPhone on cell data.

I’ll tell you where service really sucks. Fort Mohave. Zero bars in Walmart. 1 bar in park lot. They need another tower or something. Had to verify a quantity in the pharmacy section and called my mom. Forget it. No service. Wasn’t on the moon for Christ sakes.

I pay $70 a month with 9 gigs of data with ATT, good service. Not too shabby..
If you cancelled and went to prepay on ATT you will get Unlimited (throttled after 22.5 gigs) and 10gig hotspot for $65...somethign to look into.

I'll check it out today.. Thank you!

This looks almost too good to be true. AT&T PREPAIDSM 16GB 12-month $300, what's the catch?

I have AT&T on my work phone and Verizon on my personal phone, and I can say without a doubt AT&T is better

No catch, they will shift your number over. You'll buy phones outright going forward but we do that anyway with apple directly or via Costco. I have been on the prepay trip since 2015ish...way way better deal.

I just looked my plan no longer exists but that's a killer deal...

It depends where you are.
SXS trails in Sturgis only ATT. Other adjacent areas only Verizon. Some areas both.

Gotta say thanks to the Peeps on here for turning me on to Verizon pre-pay a while back.
$35 / month for 15GB set up as 'auto-pay' . . . I have zero social media and only burn through about 10-15% of my data plan every month.
I was paying WAY too much with Sprint for shit service.
On Verizon I believe your un-used data rolls-over for 1 month, ( I could be wrong )
i've hot-spotted my shitty old iphone X a few times for my lap top and it's worked great.
Excellent service - Zero Complaints.
Thanks again RDP Peeps for saving me a gang of dough.

Verizon has the best service. They also have the highest prices.

You get what you pay for. As always.
