Service getting worse in Chester County, PA?

My wife and I are getting more dropped calls than ever before. Anybody
else having such problems? The dead zones are more frequent than before.

It's probably not a fair comparison, but concidental with switching from
Cingular TDMA to tMobile GSM, my service went right down the tubes.

Sort of like when I was running NT 3.51 and didn't even know what "The Blue
Screen Of Death" was - when I was on TDMA I had no concept of zero bars.

Now it's a daily occurrance.

Paoli, doing a lot of work up in Oaks - where it's *really* flaky.

Going down the shore, no prob.

Could be the integration. Service is fine further west (Central PA) and is
easily much better than Verizon (I carry both - Cingular for personal and
VZW for work).

I'd call and let 611 know - they may be having tower issues especially if
service was good and now is bad.

Blue? You mean AT&T? Actually, we've always been Cingular.

My old ATTWS contract expires in late July. I've got a good deal, and I
plan to milk it as long as I can (I'm on TDMA). But if Cingular reduces the
level of service, I'm jumping to Verizon. No tears, no scenes. Cingular
will not go out of business if I leave, and I'm not going to let myself be
driven nuts because I don't like their tactics of arm-twisting ATTWS
customers into accepting higher rates.

Screw Cingular!

The motorola V180's have been know to have reception issues. I've had
several customers on Blue and Orange with the 180's and they've had
reception problems. If you are going to try another motorola product
on Blue then try the V505 if you want to try an Orange motorola product
tne try the V551. They are very simular in features but the V551 has
the video camera.
