only decent provider in my area is verizon

[*weasel]

i got my first cell supplied by the consulting company i was working for a few years back - back when i thought i didn't need a cell phone.
(i'm still pretty sure i don't -need- one - but i doubt i'll go without again, excepting post-holocaust)

anyway, it was verizon, and i never had a problem (se MI: detroit and 'burbs.)

my friends/family have tried all sorts of alternate providers. they get crappy service, dead zones, dropped calls, weird roaming locations, bizzare stuff. inevitably when they switch - those that pick verizon swear by the difference. i've never known any differently, but they -rave- about the difference.
as my buddy puts it: Sprint sucked, Cingular sucked, Verizon just works.

and the price is par for the course.

Any info on Madison, WI service?

I'm about to move to Madison, WI and wonder if anyone that happens upon this has any experience with cell service there. I would prefer a bluetooth phone and a reasonable data plan, but so far I get the feeling that may not happen - at least if the T608 doesn't come out for Sprint. T-Mobile claims service coverage there, but doesn't offer phone numbers that are local to the area. Any suggestions?
