The wireless marketing wars are in full force. If your head is spinning from trying to understand what all the various claims mean, you're not alone. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Who should you really believe has the fastest 4G LTE network, most reliable service or the \"strongest signal?\" And do these metrics really matter all that much to your overall wireless experience? <\/p>\n
These are the questions I answer for you in this edition of Ask Maggie. <\/p>\n
Dear Maggie, <\/p>\n
I'm a Verizon customer, but am considering switching to another carrier. I'm happy with Verizon's service, but I'm tempted to find something less expensive. I think I can get a better deal from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint. And it looks like from all the advertising that AT&T and T-Mobile, especially, have really improved their networks, so maybe I wouldn't have to sacrifice the quality of the service if I switch? My question to you is should I believe all the hype around these other networks' claims or should I stay with tried-and-true Verizon? <\/p>\n
Thanks, <\/p>\n

The wireless market has gotten very competitive, especially as T-Mobile has ramped up its Uncarrier campaign of novel incentives to win over customers. The result has been a reduction in pricing and more flexibility in service plans, and more people considering a change. <\/p>\n
