As an additional statistical point, and for voice only, ATT gets the best
(only?) coverage in upper-Michigan and Nothern Wisconsin (specifically the
Ironwood/Hurley area). There's limited 2G coverage in town. I ended up
getting T-Mobile because I go up there regularly, roaming on ATT's towers
doesn't cost extra, and T-Mobile was cheaper than AT&T for my usage.
