What part of VT? It can vary a lot. T-Mobile might be okay in the Burlington area but otherwise I think it might struggle.
https://publicservice.vermont.gov/content/mobile-wireless-drive-test is a good reference

I don't know much about that area, but if I were you I'd check the "2020 Interactive map" link on the page I posted. You can toggle the layers of different cell providers to compare coverage, at least along the roads they drove to do the tests.

Guy who did the drive test is a friend of ours.
Nice article about it here, if anyone is interested:

This project was amazing and the PSD deserves huge props for doing it. Before this was provider maps that were blatantly false and internet voices that say either this sucks where I am or this is great where I am. Real data from a real person is so useful to have.

I gather they still want the public to measure and submit their results? Do a speed test on your phone, report in the Ookla App.

Yes, they do. It is now ongoing. The map base is set and folks can just submit results to keep it updated.

For the benefit of others reading this post, T-Mobile also has pretty good coverage on the east side of the state, not not so much west of the mountains. But looking up specific carriers on a coverage map is really the only way to tell.
