Ok, it looks like Tmobile gets crap coverage along I-70 from CO to KS. Looks like I'm going with AIO or Verizon with an employee discount, which means, AIO.

Which AIO plan are you looking at? looks like they have 55$ net with throttling after 2GB. Consider straight talk with an ATT LTE sim which is net 50$ with throttling after 2.5GB.

actually for any plan, AIO seems to have no advantage over straight talk, epsecially considering you are using the same network.

AIO = ATT.  ATT & T-Mobile both roam on each other.  if you weren't getting coverage for one of those carriers in a location, chances are that you won't get it from the other either.   remote towers have very little capacity for obvious reasons.

Do they roam HSPA+ and LTE? Their coverage maps are pretty drastically different. Tmobile has "no coverage" where ATT still has some. Just assumptions at this point, I guess.

I'll get the 7 GB and the wife will get the 2 GB. Besides, have you read any of the reviews? They sound horrible. Also, AIO throttles you to 256 Kbps, which is still usable. Straight Talk throttles it to unusable speeds and most times keeps you there forever, from what I gather. I'll pass on that.

Also, it seems alot of KS is 2G for Tmobile, and LTE for ATT. It obviously won't kick over to roam if I'm still getting edge on tmobile.

Just ordered the Nexus 5. 

Should be in when I get back from Christmas. Will wait to get the Moto G as there's no wait time.

didn't they get sued for it?

[ew2x4]

Hmmm. No idea.

micat- pretty sure Philip K Dick sued? Or at least his estate.

ya so my guess is from the movie blade runner.  the robots in it are called Replicants and their technical name is Nexus.  so, like the ones in the movie are Nexus-6 robots.  robot = google's android mascot.  dunno.   was home sick today re-watching it and the connection popped in my head.

About a week with a nexus 5 and a moto G on Aio. So far so good. Love the Nexus 5. The moto G is pretty good for $200. It's a bit on the heavy side, though. It's strange being able to get over 300 kbps.

IDEA FOR RICK DARIS: I will sell you my 32gb 4s for like $120 and then just not ship it back to Sprint. thoughts? it's unlocked and then you wouldn't have to get a new contract or whatever.

i mention it for the same reason i mentioned i'm on sprint. it's information that might be useful for someone to tell me what to do next. i just don't have a personal preference.

i have an even better idea... why don't you just ship it to me for free and then i'll never reimburse you for the shipping.
