No Such Thing as Best Wireless Provider for All Markets
Very well said by rporrata. As suggested and relative to many of the other comments shared, surveying each specific market seems to be a key to getting the right provider as their coverage seems to vary by market. And though wireless branding might suggest otherwise, it seems inaccurate to generalize with statements such as "Sprint has the best coverage" or "Verizon provides a superior network."
For instance, there not only seems to be variance involved in wireless provider coverage from state to state but even from community to community. In a given area depending upon specific locality, environmental factors, user requirements, etc. a given provider might have a superior solution to another and weaker products in a neighboring community.
A couple of resources to consider in identifying conditions for a given market include:

Some factors that might impact a providers coverage variance between markets could be the background of a particular provider organization (e.g., PSTN vs. pager, retail vs. commercial products), how much of their local coverage was "built-out" by the provider vs. attained through acquisition, the wireless technology that they utilize and/or will utilize in the future, specific wireless spectrum that each has licensed in a given area, the support/opposition toward infrastructure expansion provided by a local populace as well as municipal and state gov%26#39;t, who the early technical adopters were in a particular area, etc. etc. etc. And unfortunately current investment in a given area doesn%26#39;t necessarily reflect the performance of a particular network as it can be rather subjective depending upon how much infrastructure already existed for that particular provider prior to investment.
Organizational culture as well as intended customer targets seem to also impact the quality of customer service each provides For example, with a focus on 18-34 year old males T-Mobile seems to provide liberal doses of Hollywood actresses and more cool, hip products. Meanwhile, Verizon%26#39;s fixation upon businesses shows with the personal level of service they try to provide.
