| Markets vs cities Hopefully people understand the difference between "markets," and cities. The city names mentioned in the article above represent markets and may include multiple towns, smaller cities and other suburbs.
I use AT&T. When I only had a 2G phone, I complained about garbled calls, dropped calls and audio distortion.
With 3G, I get all of the above plus constant handoffs to older 2G and 2.5G networks without warning and for no apparent reason at all.
AT&T did a really sloppy piss poor job in implementing 3G in many of their service areas thus all the complaints. Low spending budgets, inexperienced network technicians, 1900 MHz sites built for 850 MHz spaced towers, and really weak amounts of spectrum have given us in LA a pretty weak introduction. But they still defend their network as the fastest best thing since sliced bread; at least their retail employees do.
I'm all for T-Mobile taking it slow and building the network right from the start and I'll consider making the switch for this phone or other high end 3G phone on their network. |
