I'm the guy who posted this story about a year and a half ago.
Based on the comments, I went with T-Mobile. I live INSIDE the City Limits of Los Angeles. T-Mobile's "coverage map" showed decent signal at my house. I COULD NOT get a single bar.
If carriers can't provide wireless coverage to people inside the city limits of the second largest city in the country, why should we trust them to do it for those people out in the sticks?

The last team you'd expect to be into analytics would be the Angels, given Scioscia's tendencies.
And Arte may be panicking after the horrendous start.
