The day that their GSM network will be as good as their old one, reception wise... I'm seriously doubting that over night it will change...
DAMN DIRTY LIARS!

They've been saying that for a long time... When I first switched to GSM in like August or so, I called ATT because I switched beacuse they said it would be "better" then my current setup. Customer Service Rep said that since they are building the new network it will take time and that by the end of the year (TODAY!!!) it would be as good or better. I know other people on here have heard that too, I'll have to see.

Or perhaps because of the ridiculous amount of drunken nobbers using the network at the same time (12 00) it might crash and die a horrible death

AT&T said that by today, we would be at 75% of our TDMA coverage. by dec 2003 we should be at 98%. I'm sorry if whomever you spoke to was confused/misenformed, but that's what was said initially.
By the way, due to the joint venture with Cingular, AT&T's GSM coverage should surpass it's TDMA by dec 2003. however, this is not official and is only my opinion...

Deric,
You said that "due to the joint venture with Cingular, AT&T's GSM coverage should surpass it's TDMA by dec 2003." - but it appears that the only ones bennefiting from this joint venture is the cingular customers. I grabbed a cingular sim and a t-mobile sim while at my old telecom job (already had the att sim) and noticed that cingular customers could roam onto att's network but not the other way around. Now since there is prolly a reciprocal comp agreement (similar to the way CLECs would get payed if the LEC terminated a call on their network or vice versa), that means cingular pays in some sort of way (credit system, cash comp) for everytime one of their users jumps on an ATT base station. But ATT users can't do the same. So whose benefiting from this deal?
1) Cingular customers - they have access to more base stations
2) AT&T Wireless - they prolly receive some sort of comp everytime a cingular customer user uses their network.
Whose not benefiting?
1) AT&T customers. They're not allowed to roam onto cingular's network - i guess cause AT&T's too cheap.
So when are AT&T customers gonna have the same perks from the deal as cingular customers?

@highrez
the joint venture is building new towers. ATT customers CAN roam on cingular towers, but there aren't many of them. I assume once we start building towers (@ $3M a peice) you'll start to see the overall coverage fill out.
