5. Sprint

Ranked by reader service score.
When ranked by connectivity:
1. Verizon
2. Sprint
3. AT&T
4. T-Mobile
Note: T-Mobile had the worse service availability, which I can attest to personally, I can drive for miles on the 134 and not get service in the Eagle Rock and Glendale area, between the 2 and the 210.
AT&T had the worse static on the line, which I have experienced.
These reports are not surprising based on the everyday complaints we hear.
