I dunno, I'm scared. There's humans outside. If I go out there, they might want to... *gasp* talk to me...

How many buttons does the string have?

None. It's completely operated by touch solutions.

You know, people who are still saddled with AT&T would probably welcome the iString. It certainly couldn't *hurt* their coverage.

What?

Hey, if AT&T can list 5 customers that have excellent coverage, then that means they have excellent nationwide coverage, right?

And hey, if they can get Luke Wilson to read the list off, that will somehow cause it to make more sense, right?

Well, I'm sold.

*Goes off to the nearest AT&T store*

Leave my provider alone! Sure, they overcharge. Sure, they have numerous dropped calls. Sure, they lack coverage in the most logical of places. But they...

They...

Hmm...

I'm in the process of changing from Comcast to U-verse.

'Cause I'm a masochist.

I'm in the central business district of the third largest city in the United States, and right now I'm showing full bars with an "Emergency Calls Only" message. Are there so many tall buildings here that they can't decide which one to slap a tower on?

I know where the towers are located at around me because I always get dropped calls for about 2 seconds. The tower hand-offs are terrible in the plains. We have NO INTERRUPTIONS from terrain. How can you be so shoddy?!

So I'm having fun at work again...

Hey, they put bandwidth limits on! C'mon, isn't that nifty?

I would hypothesize that Chicago (just like other big cities) has a big problem with frequency interference. Which is a big "Well duh...", I know, but the problem is that you can't use many of the frequencies you can get away with in rural areas. The higher the frequency, the finickier it is about your LoS, and Chicago sucks for that. So you're stuck with the lower bands instead, which means your competitors are too, and...

*pantomimes car crash*



I hate wireless tech for the most part, and this is just one of many reasons why. If it's being used for what it's good for (phones, Last Mile customers, etc), fine. But when people set up a wireless office because they don't like cords, I want to throw all of them off their rooftop.

U-verse...

Masochist sounds about right.

Eh, it's gonna save me $70 overall, and some faster internet speed... theoretically. Plus, I liked U-Verse when I had it before.

Only thing I need to find out is whether they'll have Doctor Who HD On Demand.

Just because I am super board this week (thought my life was changing last week, then it came to a resounding halt), I am thinking of running a Mafia game over Facebook. Would anyone be down for that, or would that be selling out too much?
