Cost savings vs. network coverage for cell phone and mobile data

I recently switched to spusu. Their black Friday offer last year (free calling in Switzerland plus 1 GB of data for Switzerland and EU at CHF. 4.80 per month) was simply unbeatable. spusu is based on the Salt network.

I was conscious of the fact that Salt might not have the best network coverage but decided to accept that. Since I spend quite a bit of time in the mountains in the summer I have recently become more aware of this lower coverage. Before that I was thinking of switching my mother to spusu as well. However, with these recent experiences plus further testimonials from mountain loving friends that Salt is a no-go for them, I am hesitating. Swisscom seems to have a better network coverage, but this comes at a cost. No Swisscom based offers comes close to the cheapest offerings for the Salt or Sunrise network. I am now thinking that a good network coverage should also have a value and have my mother pay a bit more (around CHF 7 per month) for the better network coverage of Swisscom.
I would appreciate any thoughts or challenges from all of you on this idea.
 
For me, the quality of the network is also important, and I won't consider anything else than Swisscom for me. I am aware that I may be biased, but I can live with that.

On the Swisscom network, the cheapest offers that I know are the Mucho offers, but they are prepaid only I believe.
