Granted that this is purely anecodatal, but I have not had any complaints with the T-Mobile network.

TMobile service is great in big cities. When I go home its 1g and Roaming(free). The real nice point is the great prices and excellent customer service. Today I called to see when my upgrade date is and I had a person on the phone and was done in 1 minute.

T-Mobile also has a policy of unlocking subsidized phones at the request of customers in good standing. 90 days? Paid your bills? Just call and ask. Done.

I've used t-mobile since they were called Voicestream. This was in New England, SW Florida, and now DC. Their network doesn't have the penetration of Verizon but I have never had any substantial issues with service. They even recently expanded to provide service in the DC Metro, which was a pleasant surprise.

Anecdotal experience with both AT&T and T-mobile in the USA (mostly southwest) says that T-mobile beats AT&T.

I've had the same experience. I'm pretty sure that AT&T is the worst 3G provider in the US.
