I know it's slightly off-topic and has been discussed before, but the list
is a little slow, and I was curious what various experiences with coverage
at the coast and delta is these days. My experience with Verizon Wireless
(formerly Cell One) is rock solid digital coverage at Davenport, and spotty
analog coverage at Waddell (sometimes has to roam for some reason). Spotty
analog between Santa Cruz and Davenport, and almost none between Davenport
and Waddell. I also get OK analog coverage along Skyline Boulevard, and
on-off coverage at Skegg's Point. I think the delta is fine.

How are the other carriers, especially AT&T, at these places? I was
thinking about changing carriers and my work has AT&T.

Thanks.
