much more than passable. it's actually quite good.
you've obviously not used it, certainly not recently.

lots of rural areas have little to no coverage, regardless of carrier.
there's little motivation to add coverage to places where there aren't
very many people.
what matters is urban and suburban areas, where people actually are,
and in those areas, all four carriers have excellent coverage.

nonsense.
the phone will automatically switch to wifi when available.
that can be disabled, but few people, if any, do so, because there's no
reason to avoid wifi, especially since wifi is typically faster, more
reliable and most importantly, required to be able to access other
devices on the internal network.
and even though it's called unlimited, it's not actually unlimited.
those who are huge data hogs get throttled or even shut down.
But some customers in rural areas claim that Verizon has cut them
off the Unlimited plan altogether, thanks to excessive data usage. A
number of customers on Howard Forums have shared stories about
Verizon shutting down Unlimited accounts after data usage got too
high, which is a little ironic.
