I depend on network coverage too much to take chances. Verizon has me by the balls. I looked at the coverage maps of Patriot Mobile and it looks a bit thin. When you zoom into specific areas, you see a LOT of "fair" coverage classifications. We all know what "fair" coverage means... It means don't fuggin count on it working when you need it. I like what they're doing as a company, and I'd love to take part in it, but I'd have to see a lot more people that I know using it and giving 5-star reviews of it's coverage and reliability before I jumped off the Verizon ship.
