…I find it funny that AT&T has released “Mark the Spot” for the iPhone [Free - iTunes link], an application made for the sole purpose of telling AT&T when your voice or data service has dropped off the map.
Somehow I think this is not going to end well for AT&T. Do you think that Verizon just might be able to capitalize on this? Maybe? Or is it a potentially-successful attempt at reconciling how the entire United States feels about AT&T’s service?

via Gizmodo: AT&T Comes in Last in Consumer Reports Study That Surprises No One
Here’s some news anyone with an iPhone could have told you: AT&T delivers crappy service that its customers hate. But this news comes from a reputable source, Consumer Reports, instead of the usual whiny friends.
Carrier exclusivity and all that.

I used to be a Verizon customer – a very satisfied one as my calls would never drop. I ditched them for a device I love just like many have done. Some people claim that AT&T’s network has suffered because of users like me are taking up all the bandwidth or something. Whatever: you get exclusive access to the hottest piece of hardware out there, make sure your network can handle it or you’re going to lose customers, as I will be looking to do in 2011 when my current 2 years are up and when Droid matures even more. But in the meantime, AT&T? The truth hurts:
AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.
Smart move, AT&T: all of your customers know your coverage sucks. Your iPhone customers are dissatisfied with your service and would jump ship in a heartbeat. Maybe you have the “Nation’s Fastest 3G Network” but it’s only in the relatively rare cases where my phone can find it. Good move on a lawsuit as a response to something we all know is the truth.
I honestly thought I had gotten past having to actually check the number of bars my phone was getting when I was with Verizon. Not so now that I’ve switched to an inferior network. AT&T? You suck.
