Google Fi users - How is it going so far?

I believe a few of you here signed up for Google Fi cell phone plan? If you came from AT&T or Verizon, how does the service compare to the big two? Do you generally get good reception and data speeds?
Is there any chance this service gets extended to iPhones in the future? Or does Google need to install some special software to be able to switch seamlessly between T-mobile and Sprint, which is only possible on Nexus devices over which they have full control?

I've been using it for about two months here. In the baton rouge area I haven't even noticed a difference between Fi and Verizon. Same for Nola. The only time I noticed anything was when I hit a deadzone on I 10 between Laplace and the end of the spillway bridge. Could still make calls, just wasn't getting any data with my Waze app.

Just started this morning and aside from the snafu with my phone number everything is going well

Switched from ATT. Love it so far, data speeds and coverage have been identical

Came over from T-Mobile and service is as good or better in Austin. When I drive back to LA, I get service I never got before especially at my Dad's house in Prairieville. Only complaint I have is my text messaging recently is sporadic when at home in my wifi but am pretty sure it is my wifi not Google.

Came from AT&T and I love it. Service and speed have been great and it's good knowing I only pay for what I use

Good. I'm living outside the US and use my phone just like I do at home.

So far today I can't access anything that requires a password. I don't know what the problem is

Google Fi users - How is it going so far?
Had one hiccup recently with my phone running up 1gb of data 2 days in a row, something weird happened with the Google Play Services background app running out of control. But I called and they credited me the 2gb + 1 more GB just cause, great customer service

Switched from AT&T back in July, and haven't regretted the decision at all. I'm in Birmingham and T-Mobile and Sprint aren't as developed here, especially LTE. I'm on 3G signal a lot around town, but it hasn't really bothered me. I've noticed as well that the T-mobile and Sprint LTE signals aren't as strong as AT&T's and don't penetrate into buildings as well. Again, not really an issue for me. But I'd say if you work in the interior of a building and don't have Wifi access, it may not work for you.
For an example. At my office, I'll have LTE signal in the parking lot. But once inside it's on 3G signal, and my office is a corner office with two windows, so it's only having to penetrate one wall. I get no signal in the interior of the building. But there's Wifi here so it's not really an issue. And my office is in a densely populated area of town, so the signal should be better than it is. Don't have this problem at my house.
