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.

AD

I didn't say anything about a study. It must take some "REAL" research
to list all the carriers in Alphabetical order on the left of the page
and put a couple of them to the right of the page and say these are the
best. That survey is a heap of crap unless they go into DETAILS.

You wouldn't say that if the results came out the way you wanted.

Why do you "think" that? Back it up with some facts.

And your 2 cents even less than both!!

You have to wonder about a report that claims:

The average minutes included in a typical service plan is 1,623.

I'm sure there are lots of ways of calculating "average minutes
included," including various ways of accounting for weekend/night/M2M
minutes and so forth, but I'm also sure that most people feel they
have significantly less time on their plans.
