I agree with nospam,

Anyone who is an adult, with adult comprehensive thought process, based on
facts, logic, sense, and reason would agree with that statement above.

It's only Steve Scharf, whom I'm beginning to wonder if he doesn't get paid
by Verizon to shill for them, who posts completely unsubstantiated bullshit
(which wasn't even supported in his cites), who then _hides_ from his own
bullshit.

In fact, two of Steve's cites actually concluded the exact _opposite_ of
what Steve claimed they concluded, which just goes to show that Steve
didn't even _read_ the very cites he promoted.

Also, all of them were ages old, more than one dating back to a decade ago.

In summary, Steve's entire belief system is based on MARKETING shills from
a decade ago, where not a single one of Steve's claims was based on facts.

What I'd like to know, particularly since Steve's own cites showed that
Verizon coverage was only a few percentage points better than that of
T-Mobile, and that was _before_ the Sprint merger, and that didn't take
into account that T-Mobile has free data/voice roaming on US Cellular,
AT&T, and Verizon (when there's no T-Mobile tower in the area)...

Under those factual circumstances... and wouldn't T-Mobile's coverage
_always_ be better than Verizon (when the free roaming is taken into
account)?

How could it not be (far) better than Verizon?
-- 
This is a logical sensible question to ask, which is a fact-based query.
