That's your opinion. However I live in D.C. and even when 4 million flooded the City for the inauguration there were no interruptions in service. AT&T worked fine.

All of the carriers are good in some areas and bad in others. You cannot expect the carriers which are struggling financially to spend lots of money on temporary events.

So get over it and realize that cell phones are a "nicety" but not an "necessity".

Have you ever tried using your Sprint or Verizon phone in a third world country? Oh wait, you usually can't because most of the world uses UTMS not CDMA.

AT&T has billions to spend. Are you even in the right thread?

Cell phones are more reliable than landlines in most 3rd world countries.

AT&T is not CDMA

We are talking data here, some of us who are paying $39.99 a month for so we damn well better have a working service.

Austin specifically, has had data issues for as long as I lived here (2.5 years) but AT&T has better coverage than Verizon for me, especially in the Hill Country.
