This sounds a lot like Freedom mobile/Wind here in Canada. Although it was the opposite, the cities had the good coverage but if you drove an hour out of town it was either offline or really slow.

The networked sucked at first but they are slowly improving things and offered far better customer service and contracts than the existing 2-3 monopolies.

But sadly if you really want the cutting edge of speed and spectrum you need to use one of the monopolies.

That's interesting. In Australia, if you happen to use Telstra 4G (the only provider that is reliable for most of the country) I've found that speed in remote towns can be a lot faster than in any of the capital cities. It's surprising as the remote towns can either on satellite link or at the end of 1000km of fibre.
