When comparisons for dropped calls are done there are over 250,000 calls tested, to do only test 3 points is silly.

I guess reading is too challenging these days… :bloated:

[quote]To gauge the speed and reliability of these three wireless data networks, I used my ThinkPad X300 to collect nearly 500 data points at eight different places in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, within a 50-mile radius of midtown Manhattan’s urban canyons.
