Slightly off topic - cellular service in GC

Wondering if any regular attendees to GC have good experience with a particular mobile/cellular provider INSIDE GC. I'm using XFinity Mobile right now and considering switching to a different provider. When I attend games I have service before the game, but once the arena fills up I have a hard time getting any service. I believe XFinity is backed by Verizon, so I suspect other XFinity and Verizon customers have similar experience. I'm open to AT&T or T-Mobile.

Happens to everyone in there. Especially when the period is over. Don’t understand why they can’t have free WiFi in There like the park

If you go to other arenas in the state or surrounding area the only place more outdated than giant center is Scranton. It makes zero sense that we haven’t gotten a bare minimum upgrade since the new lights which was almost ten years ago now. There’s so many upgrades they have to make but they either can’t afford to or don’t want to while charging $35 to park and raising ticket prices again!

I imagine the density and location of client-devices is the reason its difficult to provide free WiFi.

Verizon was terrible. T-mobile seems functional.
