I went to NYC/Philly/NJ last summer..

T-Mobile barely exists out of the city itself, and yeah, speeds are abysmal. $50 for a sim card too...

Anecdotally I went to the Swedish countryside in january; where I got 16Mb/s over 3g. (and it was free because: EU roaming is free on my carrier)

To be fair, you're talking about a distant 4th place provider that most in the US understand will not work great outside of major population areas. I would understand if you had issues with one of the big two (VZ/ATT). Also to be fair, Sweden is about the size of California.

But with far fewer people living there.

What carrier offers free EU roaming?

T-Mobile!

also free 4G with no data caps.. they might be slower than the others but they own their own cell towers and offer the best deals.
