Where's Your 'D-Spot?'

John Hering writes "The battle between cellular carriers in the U.S has become especially fierce within major metropolitan areas. The focus of this battle clearly revolves around issues of quality of service (QoS). In an effort to demonstrate superior QoS, AT&T Wireless has just released the results of the Top 10 "D-Spots" in Chicago from a survey conducted online with a random sample of 520 Chicago men and women. Although AT&T touts improved coverage throughout these metropolitan areas now, the vice president of AT&T Wireless, Greg Slemons, has publicly admitted to serious problems with dropped calls. " I have yet to see really detailed coverage maps for cellular provided by the providers themselves; in cities especially a one-block difference can mean 3 bars of reception or none.

    It's portable darkness.

    My pocket-sized personal cellphone jammer is, I mean.

    It's fun to press the button and watch people STFU and drive.

    Parent is a legitimate post! The moderator who modded this -1 Troll probably lives on top of the Rockefeller Center or something, where you have perfect reception for any carrier and you can pick up 40 unsecured WiFi hotspots...

    You see this? This is the body of your comment. That little line above there? The one labeled "subject"? Yeah, that's where you're supposed to put a subject. There is no possible way to interpret the label "Subject" as "Put the first few words of your comment here." Besides, you'd have to reinterpret "Comment" as "Comment without the first few words which you decided to put in the Subject field" to complete your freakish interpretation of the process of submitting a comment.

    Seriously, we label these fields for a reason. Subject in the subject field, comment in the comment field, username in the username field, and password in the password field. What's so hard about that?

    Just called T-Mobile, and yes, they really are buying the Cingular network in California.

    extends for several hundred kilometers outside my town in any direction - once you're more than 20k's outside of town, you might as well turn your phone off. This is from Telstra, Australia's largest telco, who claim to cover 95+% of the population.

    My phone has no reception where I work either... but that's because I work 700m underground in a lead mine, so I'll forgive them on that part :-)
