1 edit | No luck here I've had bad experiences with 3G here in Florida (Orlando and Jacksonville area). I love the iPhone but not impressed with the network. |

I'm in North Carolina - with 5 bars of 3G service - and I drop calls like hot potatoes. I have only had my AT&T service for a few months, yet I never had this problem in over 6 years with Verizon/Sprint or Nextel ... even with a lower signal.
At first, I thought it may have been the iPhone, but I have an old LG GSM phone and even when I swap the SIM, I still drop calls or simply can't make them for a few hours. We have 2 iPhones in my house and they both experience the same issues, even if one of us is a block up the street at the store ... we still drop calls like crazy.
Luckily, the service is $100 or so cheaper than Verizon. |

I have nothing bad at all to say about AT&T in Florida. I've been in Orlando a bit and never had an issue there.
I don't own an iPhone, and never well. I was using a Samsung EPiX and now I am using a Nokia E71. I might have a dropped call once a month.
I used to have Sprint and it was complete trash.

While I don't have an iPhone, I just got off a 2 hour conference call on my HTC Tilt.
I was never able to do that on 3G until they deployed the 2nd carrier channel here in SoCal. Calls used to drop within 10 seconds, or if I was lucky enough, hand off to GSM (GSM rarely had dropped calls for me). |
