Why we want to hear from you

Advertised speeds and coverage maps don’t tell the whole story. What matters is how your signal holds up in crowded places, on a road trip, or even at home, and we want to know your experience.

“It’s easy to get caught up in specs, especially when comparing phone plan features, but the real test is whether your service is working as you expect it to or if it’s getting in the way,” said Jeff Carlson, a senior writer at CNET. “With so many variables — your phone model, cell towers in your area, and even obstacles like buildings and trees — everyone’s experience will be different.”

Whether you’re using a national network or a mobile virtual network operator on a limited budget, you can help other CNET readers find a reliable carrier by sharing your thoughts.
