Verizon v. T-mobile and vice-versa
Verizon costs too much but it's been the only service that meets all my needs (live in Wolfeboro, commute to Concord or Laconia on 28, 140, 129, 11 and 11A).
Has anyone using those routes regularly switched from Verizon to T-Mobile, or from T-mobile to Verizon, that can comment on coverage, etc? For now, I'm stuck with ABB/Breezline for high speed internet at home, and that doesn't look like their will be a choice for quite a while. |

Spectrum
If you are a Spectrum cable customer, check out their mobile service. It uses Verizon's towers, so coverage is similar in the lakes region. I got two lines of unlimited data for $30/month as a one year promo. Now, two lines cost $60. Much cheaper than Verizon and it works well.

Spectrum here uses Verizon towers. As stated above Spectrum offers phone service using Verizon lines.
Consumer Cellular and Straight talk here use the Verizon network/towers. LINK If it is just a phone for talking, text, limited data then a Tracfone with one year of service and a smart phone can cost $50.00 including the phone. From HSN. Tracfone here uses the Verizon network. LINK |

I switched from Verizon to Pure Talk and assume it uses the Verizon towers as I think most of them do now. I have not noticed any change in coverage at all.

My son uses Verizon’s subsidiary network Visible. It uses Verizon towers and is prepaid but, he now pays $35/mo for phone, text, and unlimited 5G (not really unlimited because they throttle after a certain amount and drop you off 5G. You have to agree to direct withdrawal from your credit card and you start at 45 or 50 per month but get reductions after x number of months being on the network and making payments on time.

We switched from Verizon to T-mobile a while back. I commute from Gilford to Dover, but am all over the Gilford side of the lake often. Can't speak to the Wolfeboro end.
All carriers have their dead zones. For me, I lose signal for a a minute at Cherry Valley/West Alton and sometimes it cuts for a sec by Ellacoya Barn. On route 11 south of Alton there is a dead spot from 4 poles (literally) past the Flight Deck to just before Johnsons. No problems towards Laconia, Belmont, Tilton and Concord on the main routes. T-mobile is way cheaper than Verizon. For our 5 lines I am saving $150 over what I was paying Verizon. |
