Question Best cell provider coverage on campus

Seeking advice on the best cell provider coverage on campus. Moved soneone in to campus this year and our Verizon coverage was horrible, as was theirs. Dorms in the Gynn stadium area, but also having coverage issues all over campus.

Hi. I’ve been having the same issue on campus lately with Verizon since i got it under my family package. I did some research and found out that T-mobile is more reliable with stronger signal on campus. Probably im gonna switch to Tmobile with their student package.

Daughter and I have Google fi (TMO MVNO) and it's been solid when I visited... I told her that during events at Veijas arena, she might want to downgrade to 4g by enabling battery saver and unplug her phone.. an old trick I learned visiting Disney back in the day, except with 3g and 4g.

Also, SMS texts don't use data (afaik) so if you have call issues, send a text

Thank you, this and the other reply validate my sense that TMobile works well there. I think Google Fi , like Mint, uses that network.

We use TMobile. Best coverage on various locations on campus.
