I just finished reading your website top to bottom:
what a treasure-trove of useful information! Thank you for all the hard
work.
GOOD site. I did not say PERFECT but I said GOOD.
Do not take too close all negative postings. A good part of them is paid.
Your site was great! Even if it didn't answer all my questions, it gave me a sense
of how to think about these phone issues.
I enjoyed your post, and really appreciate the link you provided.
GREAT site - all the information I wanted without having
to do the research myself. Thanks!
good work on your site It
provides a lot of information for us in the Bay Area.
I'm in LA but enjoyed reading your
nordicgroup.us website. Lot of work went into it and tons in <sic> information.
Thanks for pointing me to your Web site.
You've obviously put a lot of work into the knotty problem of trying to figure
out which wireless carrier offers the best deal to consumers.
Thanks for the web site. I appreciate
the hard work you put into it.
I
noticed your website link posted on Usenet and found your site very informative
and comprehensive. Good Job
I
have read your wonderfully informative comparison for cell phone service, and I
have to agree with most of what you said. Verizon and AT&T by far have
the best coverage in the bay area.
I
find the newsgroup discussions about your site hilarious at times. Jxxx
Nxxxx must not ever get out of his home -- which is probably the only place
where Cingular has good coverage from what it sounds like. You're providing
a valuable resource of information and all he can do is ridicule your
site.
Hello.
Your information was very informative and gave a good comparison.
Great
site Steven, but you might want to expand your coverage to include Sonoma,
Napa, Mendocino, and Lake Counties, as there are a lot of people from those
areas who commute to SF.
Found your site on phone scoop. It echoed my experience with cell phone
service in the bay area exactly. Unfortunately I am a Cingular customer
as well as ATT.
Your web site is very helpful. Thank you
Hi, thanks for doing a great job with your website!
What a great job you have done compiling
and publishing this information. I only wish you were in Massachusetts.
Thanks for the help. I actually just opened your site again this morning trying to figure out what to go buy today. I'm not sure whether or not to thank you for all of the information. Sometimes, ignorance is
bliss!
I can personally attest that Sprint
coverage in Woodside and even West Menlo Park is horrid. I have now
spent 4 years arguing with it and am finally ready to bail. I wish it
were possible to go with Verizon with a clear conscience. Gonna be a
tough choice.
I can't believe anyone had the energy to
figure this out! Most of my questions were answered by your site, but
I would appreciate an appendix (or link) that would explain more about unlocking phones for international use.
Great site and resource! The *one* good thing
about Cingular is the ease of upgrading equipment; but what good is the best
phone when you never have signal!
Way, cool web site!!!!!!
I just wanted to say thank you so much for all
of your helpful information on your website. ..... Your website is
particularly helpful, because I'm concerned about coverage here at home, not
anywhere else and you outline everything in such an organized manner.
Thank you so much. I'm sure I'm only one of many you've helped. (Wow,
feedback like that makes me feel good!)
Awesome site, by the way. Thanks a lot for all
the hard work!
It IS a bit overwhelming but GREAT so
far--exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for the excellent document you have made available on cell
phones in the SF Bay Area (15 July 2003)
Thank you for
your information. I live in Los Angeles and I wish there was a site
like yours here. (15 July 2003)
Hello, thank you for
taking the time to share all of this information, you do an excellent job!

Your website is awesome! I was
lost there for hours yesterday. (17 July 2003)
Denunciations
Extreme advocacy masquerading as an
information resource. This is from the sole, tireless,
promoter of Cingular GSM in the Bay Area, and the initiator of the
alt.cellular.cingular Usenet newsgroup. This gentleman has repeatedly been invited to
send me URLs to surveys, polls and articles supporting his position of good
Cingular coverage in this area, but has thus far declined to do so. His only response to
all the surveys, articles, tests, and Usenet criticisms of Cingular is: "I
know of quite a few satisfied Cingular customers."
I have to say that I don't think it
gives a fair representation of the carriers. The bias is evident when read
(though I will leave it to the readers to conclude).
So if someone were to ask me which
provider to choose in the bay area, I would recommend what has worked very well
for me: Sprint. I certainly would not point them to your website. Sprint functions almost as well as Verizon in many
areas of the bay area, but there are a lot more coverage gaps. Also, Sprint
does not work as well inside buildings because it is PCS (1900 Mhz).
You show your bias by excluding Nextel from your comparisons. How one can ignore the most profitable wireless telco in the industry is beyond me but you have managed to do so. I can only conclude that you either have a financial interest that conflicts with Nextel or a personal vendetta against them. But no matter what the reason, the exclusion makes your so-called analysis worthless. I felt that it would
be unfair to include Nextel because of the reasons stated in the
introduction. Even though Nextel is rated last (tied with Cingular) for coverage in the San Francisco Bay Area, Nextel has never tried to market itself to customers for whom ubiquitous coverage is a necessity. Nextel has carved out a very profitable niche in servicing business customers but makes only token attempts to lure individual subscribers. Nextel may be abandoning its proprietary iDEN technology and moving to CDMA. If this occurs then I will add them to this site.
