I agree it’s the best network (Verizon is my carrier for all of our mobile staff at work - we have people from WV, MD, MA, NJ, PA, etc.), but for a personal phone (which won’t get a company discount), it’s not worth the extra money and they don’t have a good selection of phones. They tend to get top phones (like the HTC One), WAY after it’s been released to the other carriers. > [@New York needs to raise taxes](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-york-needs-to-raise-taxes/52933/73): > > i have at&t, had tmobile a few years ago and i switched because of the service in the area sucked! customer service was by far the best! att&t i have lte for majority of the time 4-5 bars at work at home (work=latham, home=colonie) my phone data is sometimes faster then some wifi connections i connect to… and the biggest reason i went to att was because they still utilize a sim card, im not a fan of gsm providers i like the ability to plug my sim card into another phone and it would work… AT&T is my front runner right now also. It helps that there is a store literally across the road from work, should anything happen. And I think you meant CDMA (Verizon/Sprint). T-Mo and AT&T are GSM (and thus have SIM cards). I get what you meant though. It’s good to hear that Latham/Colonie has great service…I spend a lot of time in that area (both my brothers live in that area). --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/cell-carriers-june-2013/267186)._
