I'm looking at coverage. I know that ST uses AT&T and Cricket is owned by it. Do they have the same coverages as AT&T?

I can't change from AT&T without getting divorced at this point so it is VERY IMPORTANT they have the same coverages.

We had to up the data allowance on our account because kid discovered Spotify and the difference between ST and Cricket is significant even with my wife's AT&T discount.

I suggested going back to T-Mobs and she suggested what I could do with that suggestion.

Responses:

patryk does indeed use cricket. coverage is the same, but it is slightly throttled. it's not bad, but you can tell -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:23 3
- Lurker! Thanks. It looks like it's throttled to 8mbps? I think we could live with that. - spamlet Nov 29, 13:24 2
  - 8Mbps is definitely acceptable, especially at their pricing I do not regret walking away from ATT. -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:38
  - I think the 8Mbps "throttle" is across the board with all AT&T MNVOs -- nm - oblique Nov 29, 13:28
head has flawless coverage (I miss at&t). I think patryk had throttling issues with speed, but they may have abated. it's the same network. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:22 11
- it's not throttled like 3G or slower, the LTE just caps at I think 8mbps -- nm - patryk Nov 29, 13:24
- AT&T at used to be the suck, here. Switched to Verizon and am afraid to switch away from the flawless. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:24 9
  - I have verizon now. it's kind of crap. related: does verizon not have "talk over wifi?" because that makes the mart iffy. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:28 8
    - Didn't think of that. I use it at home because AT&T is kind of spotty. Hmm. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 13:31
    - We have it on our work lines. FAQ linked -- (link) - oblique Nov 29, 13:31 3
      - I am so not in a verizon 4G LTE area. ha ha. but thanks. -- nm - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:38 2
        
        I'm probably very spoiled but it's hard to imagine not being in an LTE area these days other than my grandparents farm -- nm - oblique Nov 29, 13:39 1
        
        remember, I'm the red dot in a sea of green in the middle here. -- (link) - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:41
    - I am not sure as we never use enough voice minutes to worry about it. - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:30 2
      - I have no limits. I just have crappy coverage. and at sashamart there is no coverage at all. I had to use what's app to make a call. I still feel dirty. -- nm* - university of amanda jones Nov 29, 13:33 1
        
        Oh. I have only been in one location that has no coverage. It is at the bottom of a valley on my way home. -- (edited) - Doctor Spawn Nov 29, 13:37
