I went to a game in AT&T stadium. No service.

A few years ago I was in NYC with a friend of mine. He had AT&T and couldn't get service all over town. Meanwhile, my Verizon service was fine. But I can understand. It's not like we were in the largest market in the US. They probably had to put their vast resources toward other areas of the country.... like Texas... Oh wait.

My work is the one place where AT&T works better than Verizon. I switched desks in the lab because my desk was a dead zone and I had full bars at the other desk. 10 feet away (granted a wall separates it) it's retarded.
 
I use AT&T - well, Cricket, which they own and uses their network. In Phoenix I get much better service than I had with Virgin Mobile (aka Sprint). It varies depending on your city, and the area within the city. With Sprint, there were literally dead areas within a few feet of good spots in my home. Not an issue since I switched to Cricket.

Since I don't care about the absolute latest tech at mind-boggling prices, pre-pay makes too much sense for me.

Maybe AT&T should have done a little less predicting and a little more innovating.... :D

Come on, you aren't looking forward to faxing from your iPad and video conferencing from payphones at enormous rates?

They predicted the technology, they forgot to include themselves in it.

Honestly, they probably weren't even predicting, that was probably all technology their R&D team was working on at the time, and it just so happened that they were able to jump further than originally predicted.

Yep. Probably.

They did have video pay phones at like airports for awhile. Problem was, no one on the other side had one. Oops.
