Re: Easy Way to Make This Work
There's a number of causes of bad service for any wireless carrier. Try covering a large home with a 802.11G access point and you might see the problems wireless carriers have.
Can not exactly put a tower in everyone's back yard, and if you're in a PCS zone which is 1.9Ghz vs Cellular which is 900mhz the signal does not penetrate vegetation or walls etc as well as Cellular.
LTE will use 700Mhz which will have even better penetration so hopefully some fringe areas will benefit.
Carriers can not just up more towers, municipalities restrict carriers or ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars up front for the tower to be built, or force the carrier to limit it's height which in turn limits it's usefulness.

A particular carrier's coverage issues are not my problem. I just go with whoever provides the best service in my area. For me, that just happens to be AT&T.
What I won't do is pay extra (over my monthly subscriber fee) to get the same level of service that someone who does live near a tower would get for that same fee.
