   For most people that is true. However when a carrier's only   
   differentiator is slightly more Mb/s that's all they really have to talk   
   about, so they avoid talking about coverage.   
      
   The consumers that lack the critical thinking skills to evaluate   
   coverage and reliability are the legal prey of companies that talk only   
   about speed. You also often see people who consider only whether their   
   carrier works where they live or work and who don't look at coverage in   
   places that they are likely to travel to (or through).
