And on what do you base that statement? Your own experience, coverage,
customer service or ?? Worst compared to??
I'll grant you that the coverage by each carrier in a particular area
may not be as good as another carrier, and I'll also inform you that
AT&T and Verizon, as the older carriers going back to the AMPS days of
the '80s, have an advantage in that they where able to nail down sites
before the NIMBY opposition and the "we'll all die from radio waves"
scare mongering started up in the '90s. The 1800/1900 MHz PCS spectrum
auction (the spectrum T-Mobile & Sprint use) did not happen until 1995
and the systems where not sited until a couple of years later. I know
- I was working for Bell South in those days.
All that having been said, I've been in many areas where my Sprint
phone works and my girlfriend's Verizon phone is in Roam.
Be careful when you make branket statements - some might light that
blanket up
