T mobile is as good as VZ and ATT, at a lower price, in urban areas. In rural areas, T mobile coverage is generally worse than VZ, not sure about ATT. This is, as I understand it, because T mobile didn’t have as much spectrum or as many cell locations as VZ, and tended to use higher frequency spectrum.

When T mobile merged with Sprint, the company gained a large along of spectrum including lower frequency, and it has been aggressively bidding for spectrum auctions as well. I think this should allow its coverage to improve in rural areas - if that is its strategy, which might not be the case. focusing more on 5G in urban areas may be the smarter strategy, than focusing on coverage in lightly populated areas.

Anyway, if you are mostly in urban areas, I’d give T mobile a try. Note that any carrier can have a dead spot right where you need coverage (your house, etc) and I don’t think there’s any real way to know that without trying.
