I have friends that have had MPCS and have gone for other options. Outside of a larger city the signal is not great. Virgin seems a bit better and Boost a bit better than that. I have a tMobile month-month plan. I got a phone, Android smart phone, and put in a tMobile sim. For $50 a month, $54.44 with tax, I get 30 days of unlimited calls, texts and "unlimited web". The web is 100mb at up to 4g speeds and the rest at metered rates. I always seem to get 3g or 2g speeds when I've gone over the 100mb. The service isn't as good at ATT when I visit friends that live out in the country but it works better than when I had Sprint.
