| Typical "Coverage Sucks," Comments Usually when these stories get published, you get lots of bitching from all of those who just happen to live in areas with bad coverage. They may have not even tested the service within the last 12 months or longer but still factor their opinion in as valid, current or even relevant.
I think it's funny that we have to read through this garbage when we're really trying to get more insight on the article at hand namely the 3G expansion.
I live in the LA market. My T-Mobile network outperforms my brother's AT&T network at home, at our places of work, neighborhood etc. Still, he won't even admit it as if his pride would be hurt to echo those sentiments. He can drop all the calls in the world, get garbly call quality and inconsistent 3G coverage, but his pride keeps him from paying out the @ss to a carrier who fails to live up to their "best coverage," promises.
My friend who works for Verizon is the same way. He acts like my phone has no service anywhere. I asked him if he's ever used T-Mobile? He says no but he's "heard," bad things about them. Rest my case.
Where a carrier sucks is only relevant to the user in the areas he/she uses it. I don't care if T-Mobile sucks in some remote county of upstate New York when I will never even use my phone there.
I think everyone should utilize the trial period and make an educated decision for themselves. |
