How come the leading telecommunication company from the most rich country on earth is this lame?

A colossal misguided interference funded by our tax dollars. Salaries to Idiots.

Absolutely true. Capitalism generally sustains itself, until that progress is mucked about by well-meaning congressmen. Nary a one of these government officials will have owned a business before attacking one to make things more fair (and that is patently un-capitalistic). The results are rarely intended and we consumers tend to pay far more and are 'rewarded' with inferior service. Capitalism is superior, but government measures almost always ruin this.

Oh yeah, we're all better off with that trim line phone we rent from The Phone Company every month. Great monopoly capitalism.
This is such a giant generalization that its meaningless. What specifically has the government done to ruin our telecommunication service?

Their map says that I get a signal, but I don't. Also the other companies have signals at my house. ATT is the only one that doesn't.
I am not in a rural area, I live near Pasadena, Ca., not far from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Rose Bowl.
But when I talked with the representative she checked and said they have no plans to upgrade this area within the next 2 years.
The map you as a customer can get online or in their brochures is only there to give you the warm fuzzies. If you want the true skinny on coverage in your area go to your local AT&T corporate store and ask them to show you their tower and coverage maps. They show the towers and good, better, best coverage areas for each tower and they are not concentric circles either it totally depends on how the Cell Arrays are positioned/directed. One tower might concentrate on the residential area to the east of the tower while the lake to west hardly gets any coverage.

In the UK we only have 1 provider of it - Vodafone.
Be patient as ATT needs us customers more than we need ATT. They have yet to understand that their network leaves alot to be desired.
Anyone that pays for one of these is an idiot. There is no reason why AT&T's customers should have to foot the bill for AT&T's crappy 3G coverage.
If you need one of these, demand it for free.
