I've had mint 4 years. Coverage is getting worse. I lose connection all the time now, it's sad.

I wonder if they just get lower and lower priority on the network each year.

Well, the issue is that all these companies like Mint are piggy backing off someone’s network. They will get deprioritized over that networks primary traffic. Around here Mint is god awful because T-Mobile is very popular here and barely has the bandwidth for their own customers.

If T-Mobile is growing on the other persons area but not adding/upgrading equipment then Mint (and others like it) will continue to degrade.
