Probably. My area used to be a T-Mobile dead zone 5 years ago.

I also have Verizon.

Choice of service varies based on location heavily from my experience. I’m a long time big time camper and I’ve driven through most corners of most Western states:

- 1/3 will have NO cellular service

- 1/3 will have ONLY Verizon. If T-Mobile comes up, it’s unusable

- 1/3 remaining will have both T-Mobile and Verizon

My Verizon is speed capped so I can’t compare that. T-Mobile works better in more urban areas for me, but it’s unpredictable. In a medium sized costal town in Oregon, Verizon might be better but I will then get half gigabit T-Mobile in a different coastal town in California.

One thing I have learned is that those coverage maps are quite accurate.
