A pity they have absolutely ZERO results other than Who is Best. No
methodology, no description of the survey, the questions, anything. God damn
this **** pisses me off!

Maybe the top carrier was only 1 percent better than some other carrier.
They're still "ranked highest in customer satisfaction". What if all the
carriers were one point apart? It means so little that I have given up ever
listening to another BS JD Power Says So! Argument like are so common.

I don't put much stock in JD Powers. I notice they tend to pay more
attention to people who pamper them. I have been hearing a commercial
lately in which JD Powers is mentioned almost twenty times. The actual
product advertised sucks.

Eeep. They went from market-based scoring (and details) to just a
general "region" based result. Also why is NexTel included in there... I
thought this was for wireless services, not for walkie talkies.
Considering that NexTel was ranked #2 by the report, I have to say that
this current report output by JD Powers is a joke. NexTel ranks just
slightly above Sprint PCS in terms of overall value/quality.

I think the JD Powers surveys always suck and hold no merit whatsoever.

I mean, do you have some evidence that they are paid off, don't follow
scientific procedures for surveys, etc? Anything like that? Or are you
just dissing them because you can't find out the minute details of the
studies?

That's my question every time I look at one of those surveys

Well there is an intelligent and well substantiated opinion. Surely we
should all believe the "Mr T" study.

Your opinion is worth even less than their studies.

Not to mention most EVERY local newspaper releases consumer surveys on
who THEY think is best and consistently Verizon is ranked number One.

You have to remember that different companies are different in different
parts of the nation. For example, in the south central region, Cingular
was rated at the top. Verizon made the top in several regions, but
Verizon seems to be weak in Oklahoma (for its native coverage). If
Verizon had weak native coverage in Oklahoma, it is very unlikely that
Verizon will have a large customer base in Oklahoma. Likewise, there is
NO possibility that Cingular would have good customer base in the north
central region of the United States (for example, Cingular does not
operate in Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota,
Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota,
Vermont, or Wyoming, thus making it impossible for Cingular to even be
rated in those places.).

Also, I would like to say that in Montana, Verizon is terrible.
However, on the Atlantic coast, Verizon dominates (this probably has to
do with the fact that "Baby Bell" Verizon Communications was formerly
Bell Atlantic), and acquired Nynex early in the lifespan of what would
become Verizon Wireless (in association with AirTouch, which was owned
by Vodafone prior to the merger with Bell Atlantic Nynex Mobile to
become Verizon Wireless).

> Just face it people, VZW is the best. Even comsumer reports says so.

Again, why don't you drive through Kentucky and ask people who have
moved there while in contract with Verizon Wireless...or residents of
Nevada, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Washington, (north half of) Wisconsin,
or (upper) Michigan). These areas are not even covered on the
"America's Choice" plans.

I do not know much about AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or Nextel, other than
each has a hole huge hole in north central/midwest plains region.
