Thank you!

I don't have that info in the current datasets, but I could imagine down the road having a data source with latency information.

Network congestion is another beast. It's unfortunate, because I'm with you that it's really important. Only the network operators can measure congestion directly, and they don't share those metrics. I've wondered if I might be able to roughly guesstimate congestion levels in different areas, but I haven't come up with any terribly satisfying approach for that yet.

It's a bummer. Congestion is super important to the customer experience & super hard to assess short of actually buying and trying out a plan.
