CDMA bars in more places

Just for the record, at&t "more bars in more places" campaign is complete horseshit.

On a GSM carrier, bars don't mean shit. I've had 2-3 bars on at&t or T-Mobile and was unable to make a call.

On a CDMA carrier, often you can have 0 bars and make clear calls and get ~300 kbps data speeds.

The bars are just calculated differently.

So far, I usually have very few bars of Sprint reception here in Seattle... but I can usually make... and HANG ON to calls much, much better than at&t.


Quality of Service: A+
