The only good thing to come out of apple was ambrosia software and the game Escape Velocity.

Everything else, hah.

Now, I-5 has many cell towers that follow the interstate so there should be no reason for dropped calls. I understand that not every tower is an AT&T tower or perhaps AT&T didn't have any equipment in one tower or another. I get that. But when you're driving down I-5 during off-peak hours and calls drop like rain... there's a problem. I worked with the AT&T folks for months to get a resolution. Bought new phones, installed an external antenna on my car that was hard wired to my hands free kit. Even had my audio guy install a new hands free kit. Still nothing worked. Calls kept dropping. I finally was fed up and tried T-Mobile for a while, which was better but still had issues. Switched to Verizon four years ago and have never had a problem since. I still get dropped calls but only about one or two every couple of months instead of one or two every phone call.

As far as the iPhone thing goes, I seem to recall reading somewhere that Verizon passed on it because of the bandwidth requirements or something like that? I don't remember specifically why but that sticks in my mind for some reason.

Every network is different and the level of service from town to town is different. If you're getting great service from AT&T then that's great.
I was just fishing for your reasoning. It's worth pointing out that my current residence, Lawrence, Kansas, does not have as many 3G users as my future residence, Chicago, Illinois. That being said, my great service may be an anomaly because there simply aren't as many people sharing the same service here. I have no doubt that Verizon offers great service. In fact, my former college roommate uses that network and has found that the service works better for him in New Jersey than it did in Kansas. This leads me to believe that everyone is going to find major complaints with their networks regarding where they live. Some places just have better service with a different company.

Even if I completely agreed with your first statement, your second statement is completely true.

I have to be on their side. They are very important my business. Besides I've been through a lot of cell companies over the years and they are by far the best in my area. What people don't understand is some companies do better in certain markets ,but over all ATT is where it's at and their getting better everyday. I see it first hand from working so closely with them everyday.

I completely agree. Some just work better in certain areas.
