It’s amazing to me how often I can’t get a signal or an Edge network connection on my iPhone in one of the most populous cities on the West Coast.

Problem was, the film blocked cell signals. I visited months after they moved in, and the troops were still shocked and muttering to themselves.

When coverage for (Cingular) wasn’t so great, they made sure to install towers on the route AT&T’s CEO Whitaker took getting from home to the office.

Sadly, this just made him think Cingular had great coverage when really it was terrible everywhere else. Like 70 miles north in Austin, where connecting and keeping a call on Cingular has been very difficult.

Voice coverage here is ok, but each carrier (I’ve tried them all) has their own bad spots. I use Sprint’s EVDO and get good coverage and decent download rates.
