Our Network Performs Best in More Southeast Markets

Anxiovert

Aug 7, 2006, 11:04 AM
"Our Network Operations team is working hard to ensure we have the best performing network in every market we serve. We have been drive testing our network in comparison to competitors using third-party drive tests in each market. I am pleased to report that we exceeded performance of our competitors – and, at minimum, achieved parity - in a number of Southeast markets for the fewest dropped, blocked and incomplete calls.

Two independent research companies, GWS and Telephia, drive hundreds of thousands of miles annually to provide information, insight and performance measurements to the wireless industry. This neutral validation complements the work of our own engineers, who constantly monitor the network and perform routine drive and wal...

Very bold statement. That must just be an internal memo since those are false results in Louisiana except for Monroe. May be true in other states I am not there to know the testers in those areas. But with the results for us being false i would tend to believe it is all fake since they will not be advertising it as they say.... many legal requirements. as in...... it must be the truth before we can say it publicly or get sued again lol 🙂

What makes them false? That fact that you don't agree with it? Or the fact that someone else says these things. It's no longer Telephia the only one who says it.

I only said the results were false that I know for sure are which would be New Orleans and Shreveport. But i did say that I would have trouble believing it since those cities were falsely reported. Telephia or GWS do not have the postings the article is referring to anywhere according to my source. But like I said if they are backing it it will be advertised like crazy you know that. But it has to be proven true first.

wow. i can't believe what i just read. 1. maybe you didn't read my reply in full or maybe you just aren't that bright wirelesscom1. i wasn't just disagreeing. i gave information that was told to me saying the companies involved did not have any findings listed to support the claim that cingy was making in this memo. 2. the word by does not have an E on it and different is not spelled differnt. 3. yes I work for sprint. the VZW in my name is really just to throw you off. but it didn't fool you. you, wirelesscom1 my friend, are too smart for me.

cingular would never use false advertisements?
hmmm u may want to check with rcr or any other wireless industry news organization and you will see that cingular ALREADY has lawsuits against them for that exact reason. but hopefully they have learned their lesson and just use propaganda for internal memos since they admitted themselves in the supposed internal email that due to legal reasons you MAY not see this adertised. you have got to be kidding me! if this email were true ANYWHERE you would see it everywhere. but you won't because it is not true. use common sense.

Telephia doesnt have the articles posted anywhere b/c you have to purchase them. That's their business, they road test cell phone carriers, and then sell them the results, wouldnt make much sense if you're trying to sell something for profit it you just posted it on the internet for all to see. And it is being advertised like crazy, have you not seen the "Fewest dropped calls " claims. You want it proven true, have your "source" purchase the testing results for the SE and you'll have it 😁

I was out there around a year ago and had excellent coverage. I was out there for about 4 months and traveled all around the bay area, and never had any real problems. That was about a year ago though, so with the integration in areas and other things, I cant vouch that its the same now... sorry ☚ī¸

With all due respect to the findings, I can't agree, I work on and with the North Louisiana network all the time. and I can tell you this market is in network integration, and has had many problems before integration and after integration. Those finding are completely incorrect. Shreveport , and Monroe , LA are not even close to reliable much less retainable networks right now. The areas in North La are market, market 32 , is one of the worst performing markets in cingular right now. we are at the bottom of the list of markets that are one of the worst networks. That comes from many internal memos, I see them all the time. 12% is left for integration for cingular we are told , I can tell you we are one of the last markets to be integrat...

Conflicting internal memos? I'm actually shocked that the kool-aid drinkers haven't flamed you for your response yet. But I'm glad that you could at least come forward and say that Cingy is feeding their own employees the same b.s. that they're gagging their customers with. Thanks 🙂

You are a liar! You even contradict yourself by saying this market is integrated, then you say it's undergoing integration, then you say that it's got problems even though it has been integrated. Which one is it, honey?
Most of my family lives in Monroe and I have friends Shreveport. I just went to visit them in June and I had absolutely no problems. NONE!
Maybe you have a TDMA phone.

Nope no TDMA phone here, wait let me break that down for you Time Division Multiple Access, has gone the wayside. I use a GSM phone everyday, infact a COU line everyday. I mess with this network everyday, You don't live in the area don't work on the network, don't even come visit the area often. Maybe when you went down there last year you had good service, and before the hurricane are service was better than it is now, but it was still pretty bad. What I said is true Network integration in some parts of North La are complete and we continue to have problem, and network integration in other parts of North LA are ongoing. It is a constant struggle to get things done with cingular sometimes because they can be slow to react on certain issues a...

I must also state that these results are comparing you guys to VZW and T-Mo...which according to their own maps have LIMITED to NO coverage in those areas anyways. And Sprint...well...lets just say that there are areas where Sprint is using a local market CDMA carrier in the south.
