Re: This happens at every convention Agreed and it does not matter which carrier you use. If you exceed the capacity of the available cell towers, then you will have problems.
The providers do not have equal frequencies in every part of the country. Look at the frequency holdings and you will see that there mostly overlap. But in some areas, you only get coverage if your provider has a roaming agreement with the local provider. |

| ...yes but some carriers actually have more reliable networks then others. some carriers make that capacity higher on their networks(*verizon*) unlike others (*att aka the deathstar*). |

| AT&T had pre-existing networks (TDMA) that they had to let run its course before they could reclaim the bandwidth. They are in the process of moving their 3G from 1900 to 850. This will solve many of the problems people have.
I don't know why people think Verizon is any better than AT&T. They are just as big and bad Just because they have better commercials people seem to think their network is better. I just left Verizon because of horrible service here in Texas.
I can't wait until Comcast rolls out their own wireless (they own part of Clear so it will be WiMax based). Their cable is extremely reliable and their wireless will beat both Verizon and AT&T hands down. |
