I’m really not liking AT&T at the moment. I’m really hating their “more bars in more places” commercials that keep playing, especially as my cell phone has, within the last few weeks, gone from “great cell phone reception” in my apartment to “no cell phone reception.” Seriously - I’ve had to go out to my car to make sure I can make a call without being dropped. Ridiculous doesn’t quite describe it.

Especially since I don’t have a home phone and rely on my cell phone as my only means of such communication, this is a pretty intolerable situation. Heck, last week, I saw a lady on her phone at the Union Station Metro: underground, buried in concrete, but she was getting a signal! (Okay, maybe she just wanted to look ‘cool’). Me? Even in my basement-level apartment, with like, no concrete over my head, I’m getting a whole zero bars. I jump for joy when I see that the screen is displaying the AT&T logo. I jump up and down and stuff. It’s ridiculous. And then my calls get dropped anyway.

Last thought: I never had this problem when I had my cell phone service with Cingular. “Oh, we’re just changing the name.” Yeah, bullshit.

So. When my contract is up, I guess I’m going to Verizon. Or Sprint. Or …
