I need to update my wifi hotspot and one of the only places that I have trouble with signal is SP Main. My current hotspot is AT&T and it is spotty at best. I use it to stream pandora and sirius for the trailer. The kids use it for videos and games.
Does anyone have good experiences at SP with any of the other providers (Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) For the purposes of this question, I am interested in data performance more than voice call performance. |

I get full coverage and LTE service with Sprint at Summit Point. I was actually pretty surprised by how good the coverage was.

VZW pretty much sucks in WV. Only place where Sprint does well.

I thought race car teams all used single use phones and encrypted satellite links and stuff...
Have considered getting a range/signal booster but decided you still bottle neck at the main connection unless you just want local Wi-Fi.

My personal phone is VZW, my work phone is ATT, my wifi hotspot is ATT, and I have used a Sprint hotspot as well. Sprint is excellent. ATT is better than VZW.
I haven't had any issues connecting to internet (and placing VOIP calls) over my dedicated mifi device. The antenna in my phones aren't as good as the mifi so it's less reliable.
