How to encourage your cell provider to give you the worst service:

I actually cannot figure this one out.  So, you pay for AT&T service, but you don’t get service at your place, so you pay AT&T $150 for a device to boost their service at your house?  Really?  How can I get into the business of providing you with poor service for a monthly fee, and then you paying me extra?

AT&T should be pumping billions of dollars into upgrading their network.  Let’s be honest, the iPhone has crippled it.  Instead of improving service, though, they are charging their customers more and convincing them that it’s a good deal!  Really, is the iPhone THAT cool?  Is it really worth poor cell service and an additional $150 just so you can play with a lightsaber?

In my opinion, anybody who buys one of these is enabling AT&T to give poor service.  Instead of paying them another $150, why not call their customer service number (from wherever you can get a signal without a dropped call) and demand they upgrade their own network?  Don’t take the bait, get what you are paying for instead.  Worst case, get a non-iPhone on a network that actually gives you the service you need, and are already paying for.
