Having AT&T in the “Good Coverage” circle is a TOTAL FAIL. I have AT&T for my work cell and the coverage is horrible. Additionally I have Verizon for my home phone and they shouldn’t be in the “Fair Price” Circle.
agreed- at&t is the suckiest service on the planet, i live in a major city and yet half the time i have no signal at all. whats worse? i dont receive half my phone calls and texts with no further notification, so people will see me and get all pissy that i never answered their tons of calls and that i never got such and such important text.
worst was when my boyfriend and i were having a rough night and he thought i was ignoring him because my phone wasnt getting his texts, and so i thought he was ignoring me, so we were both insanely pissed at each other for like an hour before we figured out that it was just my phone.
id switch, but im stuck on that damn contract for god knows how long.
Never let your boyfriend think it’s the phone. Just say that you’re pissed at him. Why would you yield that psychological edge? Make him work harder for it.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ATT & Sprint would be better switched /nod
agreed.
Disagreed. Sprint has fair price and good coverage, but the internet is slow as molasses.
I’ll still take it over AT&T any day.
THIS
IS
STRATOSFERIC
Verizon bills us 49.97 every month for no apparent reason. (There is no description of the charge at all, it just says Due: 49.97)
same thing, except i get billed 89.97. I RARELY use my cellphne for anything. I’ve only used it once this month…
yeah at&t doesnt even work in my house and barly works any more
They all suck.
DUDE. THEY DID MAKE SOMTHIN WIF ALL THREE. IZ CALLED COMCAST
idiot
Comcast is the spawn of the devil.
Too bad it is the only service I get
And to the idiot on top of this replay WE ARE TALKING ABOUT CELLPHONES!!!
That’s what I was about to say. Graph title recognition fail for Quackoid.
Ya’ll postin’ in a troll thread!
Comcast is horribad. They call your house at dinner, then put you on hold. WTF?
The tmobile circle is 100% accurate. I have a sidekick (i know, i got it when they we’re cool), and about 80% of the time it’s not even logged into the network and I can’t make calls, I need to power the phone off and back on one again, wait for it to reboot, and only then can I make a call. Not to mention the whole ‘opps, we lost all your contacts and you can’t use data for two weeks’ thing they did a few months ago. Fantastic.
problem is your phone. sidekicks are notorious for bad reception (kinda like the iPhone) and on top of that, the data is kept by Danger (owned and operated by Micro$oft) so it’s M$’s fault that the data is lost (as usual, just think Windows) — only fault of tmobile here: offering the sidekick.
That was sidekick error, not t-mobile idiot. Double idiot for buying a sidekick
I’ve had T-Mobile for years and never had a problem with coverage. But then, I live in a city. I don’t know how it would do in the country.
I’ve never had a problem either. The price seems to be the same as the others as well. T-moblie lets me rome (sp?) like crazy too and use whatever service is available in small cities too.
Same…I was on T-Mobile for 5 years and had a great experience. But I’m in the same boat, I lived in a big city that entire time and never travelled far either.
I lived in a medium sized city and my coverage sucked. It was very spotty. But in the country, forget it. I was paying $50 for a very expensive toy.
I’ve been a T-Mobile customer since they bought out Voicestream/Aerial. Their coverage has only dropped in very remote parts of I-80 in Iowa and Carbondale, IL, but those were experiences from 3-5 years ago.
Their coverage has been equal to the other carriers, if not superior (I have an old house with thick walls. T-Mobile gets 3-5 bars in my house, the other carriers get one or none).
And usually, if T-Mobile has no service in an area, I’m handed off to another network with no problem. If anyone is in trouble, it’s Sprint. They’re losing customers like mad.
I’ve got T-Mobile too, and in a small NC town I have 3G coverage, and decent coverage most everywhere I go. Though I will admit there are some no coverage areas in rural SC. Those same areas are known to not have any coverage, no matter the brand.
I also have a great plan, my wife and I both have phones, unlimited voice, data, and SMS (including pictures) for $79.99 a month. That’s hard to beat. And I LOVE my G1.
Correction:
Good Coverage + Fair Price = None

Good Coverage + Fair Price + Fast Internet = None
AT&T
Verizon
T-Mobile
Sprint
kurumi stfu verizon is one of the best there is
Good coverage+fair price=none
good coverage+extremely fast internet=verizon
the rest are none but luke wilson is full of crap cause he doesn’t know what he is talking about. AT&T comercials now only show the service that can reac there
Sprint has decent coverage thanks to deals they’ve made with Verizon to share coverage, other then that your completely right. And thanks to someone at the CCC T-Mobile and AT&T calls can now be listened in on by bored hackers (they use GSM)
Verizon, besides charging exorbitant prices (don’t ask me about games, my phone doesn’t have them), also won’t let me send texts or call people that use At&t. WTMPN!
I second that Sprint has good coverage. I’ve been to some horrible forgotten towns in this country with my Verizon work phone, and my Sprint personal phone, and Sprint picks up the signal… from the Verizon tower… that the Verizon phone doesn’t see!
Also in my home city, Sprint has the fastest internet, at the moment. Verizon is second, AT&T is a distant “Why did I buy an iPhone” 5th compared to local offerings, lol.
Oh and Sprint has unlimited Mobile to Mobile on ANY carrier, vzw / att / and everyone else are milking Cingular’s circle plans, where as I can call ANYONE(on a cell) and never pay. Combine that with earlier night minutes (starting at 5p for $5 more/mo, or at 7p regularly) and I don’t see the other options as viable in the least…
Try again Verizon uses Sprint’s Network I have worked for Sprint for 5 years maintaining their network. We have to maintain hundreds of Verizon circuits that they lease from Sprint.
None of the providers works well where I am (out in WV). Verizon works well in the capital and AT&T works well in the south. But from my point, they all suck. So shove it josh78.
maybe if you didnt live in some crappy little town with 5 homes and a corner store then maybe you would have some good service
In WV, nTelos is a good bet.
I’m going to have to disagree with this- T-Mobile has always provided those things as far as I’m concerned, but they’re customer service is absolutely pathetic.
So is your grammar.
what? t-mo customer service pathetic? maybe you’re just a bad customer. I have never had a complaint about their customer service, as well as everyone else I know. even the research shows that t-mobile has the best customer service out there, maybe only second to vzw (which I don’t believe–had them for years and experience was not as good as with tmo)
T-Mobile used to have pretty good customer service. Now I have to drive across town to do anything to my account because it is impossible to get anyone on the line that can understand English well enough to do their job.
Tmobile customer service is great, if you need someone to very politely tell you why you never have coverage, and when you try to drop TMobile because they suck, they very politely bone you up the a&& with a $250 service fee.
Fanboy for a cell phone company? Srsly, y?
verizon should be fast and good coverage, without fair price
At&t should be overlapping only the fast internet circle
tmobile is accurate
sprint i don’t know anything about
sooo, T-Mobile is outside because they don’t advertise like crazy with lies, and you know nothing about them?
Pretty much. turns out their 3g network is actually the fastest per bandwidth and their plans are about the same price as the others. Coverage . . . well I have only lived in cities so it should be perfect as it has been
Verizon works ok with country coverage, but I don’ know about cities as I have never been to one.
i wonder why verizon is in the good coverage and fair price. should it even be there?
Not in the fair price part, but good coverage, defiantly
Represent!
Represent denial.
T-Mobile is far from accurate. I have amazing cell coverage, and fast 3G (not to mention that t-mo will have the fastest 3G by the end of 2010 thanks to HSPA+ upgrades). Oh, and they have the best priced plans of the big 4.
“fastest 3G” by the end of 2010? how could you possibly know that? Unless they mean by the current standards, but it’s pretty much a given that everyone else (except maybe AT&T) will be making their 3G faster, or maybe just ditch 3G entirely and use 4G (all TCP/IP) or something else.
“Fastest 3G” is a misnomer, first of “Slow as molasses 3G” hasn’t been reached in the us as of yet, the HSPA+ will net speeds of “up to 14Mbps down / 5.8Mbps up” on a stationary target within cancer distance of the tower. The truly “fastest” “3G” will come from 3GPP-LTE Which they are branding “4G” in the US as a bold faced lie, something that the Com Giants love to do. This will have theoretical down rates of 100Mbps and up rates of “about 50Mbps) And who has the first tower for 3GPP-LTE up in the US? Cox Communications and Verizon Wireless. Sooo T-Mobile will be left in the dust again, to be consumed by one of the Big 3 Cell Com companies.

lul enro got pwnt
I have great coverage (in a semi-rural area), fair price and slow internet from Sprint.
AT&T actually has been taking towers down in “low traffic” areas. I lived in a small town not too long ago and desperately wanted an iphone. AT&T and Best Buy wouldn’t give me one because they no longer covered the area.
Sprint and iwireless were the major carriers there. My T-moble gave me the hook up with iwireless roming. Heh-heh-heh.
I had the same issue when AT&T Wireless bought Cingular and I found out that they had the tower near my house decommissioned, and I couldn’t get signal anywhere.
I’m now a Nextel user, and I’ve never had “No Signal”, even in the most remote, back woods parts of Michigan.
sprint has been good to me for the few years i’ve been with them. i own and instinct and the internet is killer on it. add opera mini to the mix and it’s connection time is zero to none. i get decent reception pretty much everywhere, and the only time i’ve had trouble is when i came across those black zones that any type of phone can’t get a signal from.
I have had T-mobile since 2003, and while their coverage in the past has been miserable, they have made vast improvements in the past 6 years.
I’m a FORMER T-Mobile user. I used to joke to my friends about how you could be standing under one of their towers on the clearest day and not get reception. So we tried it…I was correct.
And for those wondering, I live in the country but work in two different cities (Hartford and New Haven) and went to school in the ‘burbs (Middletown). There was no service ANYWHERE!
My new phone (the Iphone) only has bad reception in my house (even landlines really don’t work too well in my house though…massive construction issues). Other than that, it was the best purchase I ever made.
And as for the idiot who mentioned Comcast (do they even have cellular service?), their cable and internet it great! Unless of course it’s overcast, or rainy, or snowy, or too hot, or too cold, or a perfectly beautiful day. Thank God we switched.
No, Comcast has only home phone
NO phone works right under the towers. Basic physics. I forget how far you have to be for the signal to be able to come down to you, but it’s impossible to stand in the shadow of a tower and get reception. No matter the brand.
I’ve actually switched between 3/4 providers above (Verizon, AT&T and Tmobile) and I really like Tmobile (what I have now) but its definitely not perfect. I think the coverage has increased a lot in the last year or so, but I could be wrong.
FAIL graph!
I have t-mobile, and I get better coverage than anybody else I know. That dinky little 5 year old cell phone has gotten reception in the middle of nowhere when all the rest of the people I was with couldn’t even get a signal.
I use T-Mobile, and it’s great, your graph needs to be moved to FailBlog, as it fails big-time.
Hey… T-mobile’s cool like that
Tmobile sucks, besides, they borrow stuff from AT&T
To be fair, you can get all 3 if you work for AT&T and get an employee discount. . . but the coverage is still spotty.
why does a phone need internet?
The rest of us live in 2009. Maybe you should join us?
My pocket computer needs internet. Phone is just another app to me.
When my old phone broke, I went phoneless for two months because the Droid wasn’t out and there wasn’t a pocket computer worth buying. I wish I could get a data plan with unlimited texting and like 150 minutes..
I have to agree with ninja dog. My phone is what most of you would call prehistoric. It has no changeable ringtones, no games, no camera, no changeable background, no personal messages, no notes, no clock, no alarm, nothing but texting and calling.
Well, have you ever felt the need to masturbate while you were away from home? People have mobile web for this reason. People without imaginations, anyway.
You sicken me.
In the centre should be the service people get in various countries around Europe.
Like i get 5 Mbps internet (1 GB a month included) and 100% coverage (haven’t had a dropped call in my life) for just 15€ a month.
Does this mean that only a tiny fraction of T_Mobile’s customers get a fair price while the rest get screwed?
I’ll never forget this:
At a T-Mobile store,
My dad: “Hello. My daughter’s phone isn’t working. Can you help us?”
T-Mobile Salesman: “Uh, we don’t carry dat no more!”
Yeah, bag phones are out of date.
I have been with Sprint, T-Mobile, and (currently) Verizon. I haaaaaaaaated Sprint. Lots of dropped calls, horrible customer service, and I was being overcharged. They may have improved since then (that was in 2001-2005), but I switched to T-Mobile and never had a problem. Now I’m with Verizon and I don’t have a problem either. So I really don’t see what everyone complains about with the two! I guess I just lucked out?
And FYI, before anyone asks, I only switched from T-Mobile because I was married and my husband was on Verizon…it was cheaper to add a line to his plan than keep our services separate.
In what world does AT&T have good coverage? My iPhone drops calls in New York City
The iPhone’s 3G chipset and firmware are horrible. Your phone sucks. AT&T isn’t actually /that/ bad, as I understand..
I hear that At&t works on Uranus (the planet) but only in the tropusphere. whatever that is.
Actually, I’m on Sprint, and here’s what I say: Don’t know about price, don’t use its Internet, but I very rarely don’t get a signal.
Really? That’s surprising. I get signal on the Nextel/Sprint network everywhere.
should be
http://cheezburger.com/View.aspx?aid=3007751424
I see that Verizon is made up of a tiny bit of AT&T.
I’m not really sure about the logic behind this one, because AT&T, I’m sure most people would agree, have the most reasonable payment plans. What they’re lacking in is… well, everything else. AT&T is absolutely mind-blowingly terrible, and their coverage is by far the worst out of all 4 services mentioned.
damn straight on the TMobile. They suck on ice.
There is no fair price when a cell phone company charges $0.25 per text message without a plan when the average message costs the provider next to nothing to process and send.
LMFAO. This actually made me laugh out loud.
TMobile couldn’t be represented more accurately.
I swear my sidekick has a voice recognition that immediately triggers a service shutdown when it hears me say something to the effect of, “HOLY EFFING SH!T I NEED TO CALL [this person] RIGHT NOW.”
Never. Fails.
My parents had Verizon, and they switched to Sprint. And then Verizon tried to hijack my mother’s new phone! They’re glad they switched once they got Verizon to leave them alone.
My dad had T-Mobile and hated it with a passion. He’s on Sprint now, too. I’ve personally got AT&T, and other than a screw-up back when I first got the phone (which took a call to the office of AT&T’s president to resolve *eyeroll*), I haven’t had a problem with them. For the amount of minutes I use, they’ve got the best plan for me (tried T-Mobile’s website comparison thingy and it said so, ha). I don’t have any problems with coverage at all.
Verizon does not have good coverage. I can barely get reception in the office/industrial area where I work. I-80 in the middle of the Nevada desert was more reliable and clearer.
Well, that is the proof. Verizon only works in the country. I’m in good shape then. There are signs in the woods stateing that if I see a bulldozer, I will put the natives in them. God knows its easy to catch snappers.
I disagree, I live in the middle of the countryside and my T-mobile service is excellent.
AT&T in the good coverage circle? BS. They belong hanging off the edge of “fast internet” like T-Mobile is hanging off fair price, because AT&T has crap for coverage.
U.S. Cellular blows them all out of the water for coverage, price, and internet.
Funny joke!
I live in the UK so the joke is lost on me
Considering Sprint and Verizon have been sharing towers and antennas for many years, including EVDO coverage, saying Sprint doesnt have good coverage is retarded.
I think this is kind of a fair misrepresentation of Sprint- I’ve found it to be very reliable. Even going across the country. Like the scruffness said, Sprint and Verizon have been sharing towers for years. It was T-Mobile that kept screwing me up. I have a great phone and plan for a very reasonable price.
This graph = fail, there is NOTHING positive about Sprint. T-Mobile ftw.
It’s amazing how everyone thinks their opinion is king.
I have had phones through Verizon, Sprint, Cingular (now AT&T again), U.S. Cellular, and Centennial Wireless (a local carrier in Indiana recently purchased by AT&T), and I’ve never had any issues with my phones:
1) I rarely had dropped calls…
2) My bills were usually right, and if there WAS an error, I haven’t had a single phone company NOT fix the problem…
3) When I DID have data plans, I rarely had issues with service.
I think you all are privileged babies who whine when the wind blows too hard.
That middle thing is called Sweden.
>Good Coverage
>AT&T
FacePalm.tiff
Fail that awful necessitates a lossless format.
you forgot cricket, fair pirce+CRAP coverage
their coverage map is a load of garbage
AT&T should NOT be in good coverage
you need to put a small circle inside fair price for cricket
At&T coverage sucks, and has slow internet where I live. Verizon covers my whole commute to school, and is faster then my iPad 3G connection. And Verizon also has fair price.
ATT sucks, verizon is pricey. Sprint and V have 4G, tmobile has faster 3G. Virgin mobile should be in the middle. $25 text/web android? Hells yeah
