Google Fi adds Verizon network in addition to T-Mobile

Google's clearly not allowed to say who the new network is, but a quick look at the updated coverage map confirms that it's Verizon.

When Google Fi first launched it could switch between two networks depending on signal quality, T-Mobile and Sprint. But then T-Mobile bought Sprint, so there was no more switching. It'll be nice to have the switching feature again. I still frequently run into areas where T-Mobile data service does not work at all (both in populated and rural areas, and often despite 4 or 5 bars of signal).

Google's current agreement with T-Mobile gives Fi subscribers the same quality of service as direct T-Mobile subscribers. It'll be interesting to see if that continues and extends to Verizon as well.
