Echoing Brandon's point, coverage is a *very* site specific variable. I love my
T-mobile coverage with no tethering limits, but I checked it first given my
hilly home location and prior multistory workplace.
There are a number of sites to check crowdsourced coverage metrics. I use
rootmetrics:http://webcoveragemap.rootmetrics.com/us
Check where you will spend the most time, eg, home and workplace, as well as
other locations you know you will be at and must have coverage. E.g., only AT&T
provides cell coverage in Yosemite National Park, and there are other remote
areas like that where a provider may not have any signal. YMMV.

right.
...where there's coverage. (I just picked up a cheap AT&T prepaid because
that's the only carrier with coverage in the city where my employer holds its
annual in-person staff meeting.)
Annoying local network issues meant I used about 100GB over T-Mo last month...
not that I expect to need to do that again soon (I hope!).
