Sprint and Virgin were terrible on all the phones I tried, data would just creep to the 1000-2000 kbps for no reason at all, switching airplane mode and then airplane mode off fixed it, but it was all the time.
Verizon was expensive (2x unlimited plan was about $200[well 180-190]/month), but people "say" it's better now.
My lady had AT&T, and would drop calls all the time, same places, and a coworker had AT&T w/multiple phones, all had worse data, I mean terrible w/3g... than VZW (before LTE available), or T-Mo.
In my office at work, I went through VZW (3g at the time), Sprint (no 4g available anywhere I went at the time), Virgin (signals always bouncing, to the left and to the right), AND T-Mo all of which have had the exact same dead-zone, and virtually 0-1 bars in my office at work, all actually bounced to zero signal, constantly, all of which had great signal outside the concrete walls.
{Irrelevant info/chatter-like-it-matters:
I have 4 phones w/T-Mobile, and now that I have paid for the phones, I actually saved money adding a 4th line (<$110 for 4 lines with unlimited everything [they say you get pushed to 3g, from LTE or 4g if you go over 2.5GB, but I have yet to see it, and the same with people I know], and streaming music doesn't count against your data w/T-Mo).
One benefit to T-Mo is that if you don't have signal, but WiFi is available, then you can make phone calls and text via WiFi, if it is available, providing that you don't throw a custom ROM [Cyanogen, or some MFR-derivative-ROM] on it, if you want to use T-Mobile's WiFi calling/texting feature.}
With as nice as it is to swap SIMs to another phone whenever I want, T-Mobile has been a blessing... open box phones on e-bay are CHEAP (~$100 for the newest LTE phone I desired for my son), and chopped SIMs have worked flawlessly.
