US carriers are constantly changing their plans and pricing, which can make it difficult to narrow down the best carrier for your needs. With things changing so often, we wanted to get your thoughts on US carriers.
Last week, we asked you to choose your favorite carrier. Plenty of votes rolled in, and there is one (well, two) carriers that stood above the rest.
Out of over 1,500 total votes, the clear winner is T-Mobile and Sprint with 47.93% of the overall votes. Now, T-Mobile and Sprint have a slightly unfair advantage since it’s two carriers combined into one, but T-Mobile definitely carried the weight here. Most of the comments on our poll article were users praising T-Mobile for its service and perks.
In a not-so-close second, Verizon achieved 25.87% of the votes. Many people love Verizon’s service, but the pricing is often too high compared to other carriers. Speaking of prices being too high, third place goes to AT&T with 16.13% of the votes.
US Cellular, now the fourth-largest carrier in the US following the T-Mobile-Sprint merger, achieved a measly 1.25% of the votes.
A fair amount of people also voted “other.” I admit, our poll was meant to favor postpaid carriers, but prepaid carriers are still a big deal in the US. Most non-T-Mobile comments on our article were praising Mint Mobile, a carrier that’s known for its solid coverage and low prices. Surprise, surprise, it’s also powered by T-Mobile’s network.
