Verizon seems to specialize in good coverage for rural areas. I switched from Verizon to AT&T. Here in the flats I would drop calls or have no service in certain areas. I ended up switching back to Verizon. Another thing I noticed was when travelling along a route I take to visit my brother in VA, I lost signal a lot more than I did with Verizon.
BTW, the biggest reason I switched back, one day I was travelling 40 minutes North to Defiance where I hunt. My wife and two daughters were in Ft Wayne and experienced a flat tire. They tried repeatedly to call me and couldn't get through. Luckily they got ahold of my son who had my good friend's phone number (he was on Verizon). They called my friend who was sitting next to me in my truck. That's all it took for me to switch back to Verizon. When I need my phone, I want it to work.

Anyone can tell you in a store that it will work fine , but after you sign up it's too late to find out that it doesn't .

I think verizon and AT&T will let you "test drive" their network. I think both have a 30 day satisfaction policy.
