In most populated areas, you have at least one or more good cell provider that works reasonably well. If that provider isn't AT&T, then why would anyone pay extra to AT&T for a device to make their service work as expected when one could pay less to another provider and get usable service instead?
That's a good question that I think would best be decided on an individual basis. I pay for sub-par AT&T service because it's cheaper than Verizon. On the order of about $100 a month less. So I'd happily fork out $199 or so for a Femotocell device, but I'll be damn if I'm paying a monthly fee for it if it uses my minutes too.
