Likewise, here in the armpit of the nation, AT&T coverage is unreliable.
Around here Verizon and Sprint are king.

We had very good luck with AT&T as far as coverage goes in Tacoma. In
Portland, not so much, a number of holes. Not long after we moved here,
Linda was in the Safeway shopping, on the list was beer. Linda, not
being a drinker wants to know what kind of beer I want. In this world of
cell phones life is simple, just call me from the Safeway and find out
what I want. - Wrong, not so simple, with AT&T we have no coverage
inside the Safeway! (Or a number of other places as well.
