Cell Phone Service Degenerates Further

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the going-down-down-down-down-going-down-down-down dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Almost everyone I know has been complaining about their cell phone service lately. These companies continue to add more subscribers, overloading their networks to the breaking point. They hold you hostage by not allowing you to switch providers and won't invest in new infrastructure. Customer service ratings are dismal for all the major providers. Doesn't look like it's going to improve any time soon."

    I have AT&T, live in the Northeast Megalopolis, and have great connections, and never drop a call. Perhaps you live in a bad area, or have a bad provider. And why does "an anonymous reader" get posted to the front page, with such an obviously crap story? Is this "Whinedot" ?
