Comments on: 2010 and Beyond: Is AT&T the Network to Beat? http://geekshuiliving.com/2010/03/09/2010-and-beyond-is-att-the-network-to-beat/ Fri, 02 Dec 2011 08:55:12 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Lisa http://geekshuiliving.com/2010/03/09/2010-and-beyond-is-att-the-network-to-beat/comment-page-1/#comment-335 Lisa Fri, 09 Apr 2010 14:57:31 +0000 http://geekshuiliving.com/?p=1090#comment-335 I love my iPhone 3Gs and switched from a Treo using Verizon to get one. I deeply regret my decision. I would conservatively estimate that my call drop rate is 50%. Once my contract is up, I'll switch to something less popular, so I won't be competing for network resources. Yes, I'll miss my iPhone but the bottome line is it's a phone. Aside from the bells and whistles if I can't talk on it when I need to, it's not very useful to me. And don't ask me to pay extra $$ to fix the problem in the form of a home device. I long for the days of 100% uptime from Ma Bell. L. I love my iPhone 3Gs and switched from a Treo using Verizon to get one. I deeply regret my decision.

Once my contract is up, I’ll switch to something less popular, so I won’t be competing for network resources. Yes, I’ll miss my iPhone but the bottome line is it’s a phone. Aside from the bells and whistles if I can’t talk on it when I need to, it’s not very useful to me.

And don’t ask me to pay extra $$ to fix the problem in the form of a home device.

Having a network built on GSM technology rather than CDMA is a big plus, particularly for a mobile gadget junkie… I never had a problem with AT&T either and even before the iphone I’ve consider them to have the coolest phones.

In addition to expanding their areas of coverage, AT&T should definitely ensure their long-term plans include identifying and reducing the number of dead zones, in areas where coverage is already provided and limited. Thanks for the great comment. You bring up a good point.

Mobile phones are used 60% indoors yet carriers have procrastinated rolling out femtocells to improve coverage.
