Wow…30% is ridiculous. I have my issues with Rogers but thankfully it's nothing like AT&T. Rogers is the only network I've ever had dropped calls on. I've been with all 3 major carriers, twice with Rogers, the first 10 years ago and now with an iPhone. There's a dead spot in my apartment that whenever I get near, calls are lost. It's annoying but nothing to get overly pissed about.

The only times I get dropped calls are in subways, and basements. Rogers is an evil company, but at least its not AT&T!

I have to say when I was down in LA I was amazed at how terrible the cell service was everywhere I went. Even checking my email half the time too so long I just gave up after a few days.

I could not imagine paying 80 bucks a month for that service.

Only time I've had dropped calls was when I first got my 3G last year, and it was 4 instances maybe; got fixed after after update 2.1 for me.

The worse covereage I've gotten on my 3GS so far is it getting EDGEy in this one theatre I go to.

Can't recall any dropped calls in recent memory, even when at the cottage.

I went to usa in the last 2 weeks in boston area and i can advice you that its not just in New York ! At&t is crap ! We have the best carrier in north american with rogers believe me. Ive got dropped calls during a Boston Red Sox games in Fenway Park and the internet was not working…. They have too many people on this network !

I'm in Houston, Texas right now (Sept 27-October 1) and I've had nothing but crappy coverage on my iPhone 3GS from AT&T. I'm so glad they aren't up in Canada anymore. I've had 1-2 bars the entire time I've been here! My iPhone even switched to T-Mobile for a bit last night and I had 3 bars!

I'm so glad I live in Calgary, Alberta where I have 5 bars of 3G wherever I go! The only time I get Edge is when I'm on the highway to Banff or Edmonton.

i had simular problems with Telus. only old BB Curve i had to call the *611 number several times to request assistance because i tell the usless operators im dropping calls like crazy , Every couple minutes. and i get this "Ok sir, let me put you in hold while i transfer you" DUH !! i just said im dropping calls every couple minutes , sure enough while on hold i drop , Have to start over *611 again.

Because of this i threaten to take legal action against Telus for not supplying promised services, they allowed me off my contract Free of charge with a LOT of fight. lol

I would Bang heads if i was stuck on this AT&T service as well . i agree when you said 30% is unacceptable
i think 10% is crossing the line lol , but then again i've always had high standards
