How's the coverage with T-Mobile?

Thanks.

We switched to T-Mobile in the Fall. So far we have been very pleased with the coverage and service.

Since we are closed up until it gets warmer, and because of the lack of snow and ice, haven't been to the lake, I can't speak to coverage around the area. But we did go skiing at Attitash last Friday and I had strong coverage from Portsmouth to N. Conway all along 16.

Also had good coverage during a trip to Sugarbush. I can let you know about Rt. 93 after this weekend as we are heading to Jay.

(I went with T-Mobile for the GSM coverage. FWIW, Europe and Asia caverage has been good too)

Thanks to both of you for replying.

My interest is actually coverage while on the lake itself while I'm on the boat. Coverage around the lake area while on land or driving is not very important to me.

seems to me that you need to wait for Ice Out to find out about that from a boat. Unless of coarse you put your boat on a trailer, and tow it behind a motor vechicle. being careful of thin ice.

Coverage on barndoor is good, and I've found that it is also good while out and about on the lake. (We spend most of our time in the Wolfeboro area, Alton, and on the broads).

Thanks Barndoor.
I sail out of Smith Cove and certainly spend time on the Broads. I've rarelygone much further south than Rattlesnake Island as I tend to like to head towards Braun Bay.
Since it's time for me to renew my service, I am likely not going with Verizon again and found the T-mobile offers more to my liking, but wanted to know if it worked on the lake.
