To be frank, I personally changed to Cingular (now AT&T) because of the dropped calls and lack of solid coverage from the other carriers, especially the CDMA based ones (Sprint & Verizon).
When Cingular bought AT&T’s wireless division, they became the best overall coverage in the nation. As I drive with kids to the boonies of the midwest regions, I can attest, Sprint and Verizon cannot compete within the square region including Texas to Minnesota to Pennsylvania to Florida.
While I know there are frustrations, I have had Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, Cingular, TMobile and that one that had the little pink alien mascot that bragged “no service plan” several years go. Cingular was the best and got better when they bought AT&T’s wireless. When AT&T bought Cingular, I was not thrilled (Cingular’s support was awesome) but I cannot complain about the coverage.
I liked Cingular so much I enticed my entire family, sister, 3 brothers, dad, mom, mother in law & hubby, father in law and wife, my nieces, their spouses, and nephew and his family. We all talk for free ;-)
And with iPhone tethering, I regularly get over 2Mb/s (peaked to 2.8 so far).
Mike, I really-really sympathize with your problem area, been there, done that (for me it was Sprint/Verizon), but I really personally would not consider another carrier for my family. I will as note that you do live outside that geographical square I mentioned...
