What the network is actually like
The valleys and cities are well served. Alpine terrain does what alpine terrain does, so expect to lose signal on passes and in deep valleys even where the map claims coverage. Ski resorts themselves are usually well served.
Networks: A1, Drei, Orange

Vienna for a week fits inside 5GB, but save your maps offline before you head into the mountains.
