Dude this is ridiculous AT&T fails! im not even a customer they come to my house, ask to dig up some cables so ofc they were allowed to dig up my yard and they left a total mess. There is a hole in my back corner of the yard this is 3 weeks later and they still havent come to fill it up. i have 4 dogs so this is a total annoyance and this is unexcusable. i am not AT&T customer and i never will be due to prior experiences dealing with them and what other people i knew say about them. This is becoming the problem in america these companies get away with pretty much anything they want and abuse their position.

A followup: I am a Blackberry 8100 user – after this “boost” occurred, I found that coverage barely, if at all, improved _inside_ of the convention center – outside was a bit better though. Is the ACC a big faraday cage?
