Chandler, AZ | results match what i have seen in most of arizona... i've always had good luck with verizon's phone service. the price is usually the first to go up, and they sell crippled handsets, but i've had to say that it is probably the most "reliable" and "consistent" phone service in the majority of arizona. i have had a verizon personal line for nearly 5 years and have never had a major issue.
i used to have a sprint moto q9 that worked well in the major metro areas, but lacked major 3g coverage and wouldn't even have service for a good chunk of the state. disadvantages of the q aside, i wasn't impressed with sprint's voice network or coverage; calls were echo-y and sounded like they were underwater.
i have since switched work carriers from sprint to att. i now have a blackjack ii and have been impressed with att's quality. all of the issues i had with voice quality have been alleviated and att's partnership with local gsm providers has extended their footprint rather well. i still find dead spots, especially in many buildings (even in the phoenix metro area) but its a big step up from sprint.
now - this disgression was not totally useless. i have seen that 3g coverage is most prevalent with verizon (in most of my travels around az), however i have a sprint mobile broadband card for data connectivity (through work). i am always impressed with the speeds and latency. i can work over an rdp session or vpn tunnel with little issue or lag. i have been very happy (when within sprint's coverage area). i have not used att's 3g network cards, but would rate their coverage between sprint and verizon (from looking at my phone's indicator).
i would say that the tests represent a good sampling of tests and mimic my results more often than not. at least its good to know i'm not delirious 
q.
