This has always been my point when people ask about performance. I'm usually on wifi anyway and I've only found dead zones at the bottom of rural valleys and inside actual caves, but even if it was five times worse than it is, it's not worth having to pay five times more for me. I just don't need mobile data that critically all the time, and I do have reliable data almost everywhere. Plus, the networks are all still growing and improving, and Americans don't seem to understand how much more expensive and under-developed most of the US mobile networks are compared to many parts of Europe and Asia, to say nothing of our ISP situation.
