most people don't use a cellphone in only one place.

at&t has consistently ranked low, not just for coverage but for how
they treat their customers. for instance, their bait & switch on the
ipad unlimited plan. they knew months before its launch that they were
going to move to a tiered plan, yet they announced and sold an
unlimited plan for just a couple of weeks.

except that with the explosion of android phones, you don't see very
many complaints about verizon, yet you still see complaints about at&t.

In the grand scheme of things, that explosion is not a big one. The
numbers are still pretty low.

although there are a lot more iphones than android devices, android is
selling a *lot* of devices and there aren't very many problems on
verizon, sprint or t-mobile. with the iphone, at&t had problems from
day one.
