AT&T Details Pledge to Improve NYC and SF Coverage
If ATT -tested- their network like Verizon does these sorts of problems could've been fixed a long t
Just an over all more aggressive company with it's network would be be nice.
I never said Vegas should have came before NYC/SF. Just in addition to. Also, for the most part ATT 3G isn't too bad here.
