They should do a better job, but the other question is why they are charging such insane rates in the first place. T Mobile is particularly bad, IMHO.
We need more competition in this market.

It's part of their business model: get people to buy the service for the cheap "base" rates, then massively escalate the charges for going beyond the "base" threshold. "Base" is used as a loss-leader.

Only so many towers exist. And the current political (zoning and NIMBY) climate makes erecting new towers almost impossible.

That’s not how they operate. Any money even stealing money from pay per whatever phones which seems to contradict what their commercials say.
