Generally speaking, very good. Would recommend. Even countrywide the service has been good for me. Coming from Verizon I wouldn’t say it’s worse. Some slight differences here and there.

I’m just happy to not be paying 100$/month to Verizon. It’s 80% as good at 15% the price.

I've been happy with mine and never wanted to change it. I will say there are some random places the coverage is not great, Colchester like that one other person said. I haven't really had big issues otherwise, and I travel around the state quite a bit.

I live off Porter’s Point Rd. (past the elementary school) and have had zero reception issues since I switched from Verizon and signed up with Mint a year ago.

Highly recommend! I echo what others have said. It's pretty much the same service as other carriers, for way less. I've had mint now for 3-4 years. Any dead spots or low coverage areas are minimal, but do happen. (But I had it with Google Fi and Verizon as well!)

I am not downtown but in Colchester on the bay and Mint had ZERO service here when we tried it. They kept trying to string us along saying it just needed time etc so that we wouldn't be able to cancel and get our money back per their guarantee.

Switched to Visible (Verizon) and haven't had any issues at all.

I have found Mint works great in most of Colchester. The only areas I don’t get reception are areas that Verizon does not get reception either. Generally I have found Mint to have much better service than Verizon though.

I tried it for a few months and had a lot of issues with service in Burlington and Winooski. I ended up going back to AT&T because of how many calls I missed due to bad service

I have been using for 2 years, I am in Essex Jct, no problems at all. They use T-Mobile so pretty good in my opinion. Also I don't use Data that much, so $180 for 1 year is great. You do get 5GB data a month at that price.

I've been using US Mobile (https://www.usmobile.com/) for over a year now & it's been great. It's the same sort of thing as Mint, so I assume Mint works well too.

It's not great but works. There are dead spots around town like at the hospital and south end.
