You Said It: Albany AT&T Service is "Appalling"

With this feature, we'll do our best to highlight thoughtful, passionate and provocative comments from Albany Patch readers. Comments may be edited lightly for readability.

"The lack of AT&T coverage in Albany is appalling. I travel all over the world and get better cell coverage in South Africa, China, Tunisia, Sweden, the deserts of Israel, even in rural North Dakota. Poor cell coverage is hurting Albany businesses; customers cannot check menus, make reservations, read reviews, even read maps to find their way around. Home-based businesses suffer from missed calls and poor voice quality. Poor cell coverage is a health hazard when citizens cannot make emergency phone calls, or contact family members at home when running errands in Albany. The sooner the City Council makes it a priority to get improved AT&T service in Albany, the better."
