Scandal

I know it might be saturday night, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who doesn't want to go into the freezing cold!
I have read several magazines today and they were: consumers report, laptop mobility and the New York Times.
And they all said that ATTWS and Cingular are the most likely to have the greatest loss due to people going to other carriers.
As a matter of fact, these two companies had double the percentages, compare to the carriers who in single digits.
Though I am a ATTWS customer at this time, and my cintract is over now, I'm free to go.
I have been checking out all the forums, and this forum(ATTWS) has the most pissed off people of all the forums combined.
So that seems to me that a lot of people don't...

Your experience sounds a lot like mine, Scandal. I was with AWS for three years and never once had a bad experience with a rep, either on the phone or in the stores. They were always both helpful and knowledgeable. As to the wireless service itself I wanted to add data at my next upgrade, without giving up call coverage of course, and it wasn't the reps fault that they could offer only either great TDMA call coverage but no data, or data on GSM but with greatly reduced call coverage, and either way wait for more buildout. I went with another carrier. The sane voices are those telling you that the "best" carrier isn't this or that brand name or technology, but a matter of trying them out and see what's best for where you are and what you...
