When I opened the message, I found that Richard Bauer had written:

I just chatted with a person there who claimed to be a supervisor and
she was dumber than a box or rocks. If that is any example of their
service, I'd stay away, far away.
She said they used Verizon towers; that wherever VZ had coverage
they had coverage. However she wouldn't tell me the relationship
between them and VZ or if they even had any or if they just leased
the VZ towers.
I do know that "other customers" DO NOT GET THE SAME SERVICE AS
as VZ customers. I know because Alltel was using their tower right up
the road from our place and service was lousy. Alltel says VZ
somehow cut back the "roamers", being crowded, in order to give
better service to their own customers. It sure made a difference.
Alltel, which was purchased by AT&T in this area, was excellent from
coast to coast, but after we got home from two months vacation, it
was lousy........when VZ cut us back.
I now have VZ and it is excellent, but much more expensive...$80 for
the 10GB plan, which we need.
However, take my advice and do as you please <smile>.

Jim
