okay it's true AT&T does suck sometimes, but you'll hear stories of how every single company sucks somewhere because it all depends on your location. Verizon internet isn't all that fun to deal with either. Before I moved I was using Charter, and they're awesome, $70 for 30mbps, but at my parents' Time Warner Cable was selling 15 mbps for $80, and then at my friends' house Verizons' max speed was 8mbps and that sold for $80. I also use Uverse (AT&T) 6mbps for the business package and I've never had it die on me.

So my point is that for internet and wireless phone service it's really a hit or miss depending on where you are. Except that AT&T's wireless service really does suck when compared to the other big gsm service, Tmobile, which is almost on par with Verizon in most populated areas. My friends and I would speedtest whenever we go different areas, he uses verizon, and I use tmobile. Sometimes I win, sometimes he wins. Then there was always this poor guy with AT&T wireless with his S3 and he would always cry about how much it sucked.
