I know all about the coverage. I never said the coverage was a problem. I
have these issues with a strong signal in a good coverage area. I dont feel
stuck in the contract either. I am fine with finishing my contract unlike
many people who complain and complain like babies not getting their way. All
the carriers have trouble spots with coverage, but thats why they give you a
trial period. I let mine pass because I dont think 2 weeks is long enough to
determine the long term quality of a service. I knew what I was signing and
I am fine with it.
