Still doesn't help me for LTE coverage, but glad to see them bulking up.So I'm shocked this hasn't been brought up yet.
Fi now has 3 providers.
Google's Project Fi gets more coverage through US Cellular
I didn't think so either but apparently they do and they're the 5th largest in the US.US Cellular has their own network?

When I was testing Straight Talk, someone mentioned to me that they thought US Cellular was the VZW roaming partner near the Wisconsin/UP border. I know I've seen their signs elsewhere around the country to at some point, but I honestly thought they'd been bought up or gone out of business or something.Me either.

Not much coverage in Kansas. Ohio even says "Weak". How are they the 5th?Ah! I knew I'd seen them in Kansas. This map is kind of misleading until you start to zoom in. Then it becomes painfully clear just how small the "5th largest" carrier in the States is.

I grew up in a small town East of Wichita, which, hilariously, isn't covered directly, but the surrounding area sure is.Not much coverage in Kansas. Ohio even says "Weak". How are they the 5th?
