WRONG! WRONG PREMISE! WRONG ASSUMPTION!
JUST PLAIN WRONG!

I frequently talk to people who are switching service based upon poor performance, especially coverage and to a lesser extent dropped calls and battery life. The technology challenged people usually expect 100% availability of their cell phone; they do not understand frequency issues, or even that they need to be near a cell tower. People get pissed when a friend is able to make a call and they cannot at the same time and same place. I also talk with people who are happy with their service; again, coverage seems to be the #1 factor.
