Will at&t be improving coverage

[Woah Boy]

Okay so I know tmobile is actively improving coverage but they still aren't at at&t's level yet, so I'm wondering has or will att be improving their indoor coverage ?

Indoor coverage is sometimes out of control of the providers, because the structure of the building can block those frequencies. Then a provider can't do anything at all.

Does your phone support their lower spectrum bands?
If not, that's your problem right there.

You'd have to look up which ones your carrier uses.

I see my phone often working it's way from LTE 4G to Edge, 3G, etc while walking through buildings... sometimes there is just no carrier signal at all.

 

My local supermarket was such a place. outside LTE 4G with full reception, inside 3G with breaking up connection. Making a call was possible, using the internet not at all. Though it is the building that is blocking a good reception. Due to being customer friendly they have put in a free customer WLAN Hostspot to use =)

I'm the type of person that can't tolerate any signal loss at all, probably comes from years of having Verizon, it is the best it can be in my area, I prefer GSM though so att is the second option , I may have to get a device that has all kinds of bands and go band crazy

Yeah, that's a possibility. Lower frequency bands have greater penetration abilities, so that definitely helps. Can't wait until more phones utilizing the 700mhz band come out.

Hahah, I was really hoping that Nokia's phones would impress me this year but alas, they did not.

I will never have anything to do with at&t.  Quite possibly the worst company ive ever dealt with.
