Depends how much you rely on it, and how often you leave the urban cores... their coverage is like 1995 once you're outside of cities. Hence most of them don't even let you subscribe unless you're home zip code is within certain cities.

For home internet, the economics seem to be so that they'll be oversaturated, but as long as there's people who can't afford better, they'll deal with 10% the performance for "only" 50% of the price.

I kinda wish the FCC regulated this stuff better and provided a minimum performance standard they would have to live up to like is common in the EU and Asian markets.

This is simply not true. My son is a professional 'mountain man' who spends his time all over the Rockies, Cascades, Alaska and Vermont. He has service from an ATT MVNO that has not been a problem at all.
