How many G's do you need? Apparently, not too many. MVNO Verizon LTE.

Yeah, all I need is reliable service, I don't give rats ass what "gen" it is.

For past couple months my T-mobile service has gone down the toilet - slow(er) and no signal (at the places where it used to be OK).

You would think that over time the phone companies would improve their networks and service, so how come it is going backwards?

Sprint was offering a $15 a month kickstart "deal" last week, but after doing some research with a weak signal on an overloaded network it was a no go.

So I went with Verizon LTE network, and so far I am pleasantly surprised. The service is cheaper, and  is better.

Prices from Verizon directly are quite high,

but you can buy their service through MVNO - I use US Mobile. I am not a datawhore, so I can function on 1GB of data a month doing my Skype, Line and Viber communications. I also started streaming music in my car, so I might have to bump to 2GB tier.

For all you Amazon Prime streamers there is limited "unlimited" tier(s) (read the small print)

So for a limited user like me, I get top speed when needed, can add more data if required and not be paying Verizon retail.
