I think the poll might be slanted in that it may just reflect the percentages of providers...in other words the percentage of voters with Verizon, ATT Sprint etc may not reflect performance but just which company has the most subscribers. I have had Sprint since the day they introduced here in Seattle a long time ago. Since the coverage has expanded I find it ok but East of the mountains it sucks. I hear Verizon is better. I do get service now all the way to Neah Bay and out in the ocean. AT&T is good if you travel state to state. What did we ever do for solitude on the river in the woods without a cell phone? Who wants to answer that damn thing out in the woods anyway?
