I live in the San Francisco Bay Area (Mountain View, specifically), and am
currently a Verizon subscriber. My contract just ended, and I'm trying to
decide if I want to stick with Verizon, or move to Cingular. I really
like Cingular's choice of phones, and I despise the way Verizon cripples
Bluetooth, but in the end, the most important thing for me is coverage.
And in the Bay Area, Verizon has had better coverage than Cingular for
years.
But, when AT&T and Cingular merged, there was talk about Cingular moving
all their customers to 850MHz GSM from 1900MHz which would, in theory,
greatly improve coverage. What'd I like to know is: has this migration
happened in the Bay Area? If not, is Cingular planning on doing this
switch in the near future?
I'd also appreciate hearing any general comments on how Cingular's
coverage has improved (if at all) in the Bay Area since the merged was
completed.
Thanks very much.
