My house has been mobile only for over 2 years. Granted, we're all college students.

I live in the Berkshires, which is fairly rural, and I get pretty good cell phone coverage here (Verizon.) Do you live farther north in the Adirondack region or something?

uhh dude i don't live in the USA so the FCC sugestion, forget it.... Cable sucks here because they do traffic shaping and my ADSL ISP service doesn't. And 3G has high pings and download caps.

This is a major cause of panic for the market research sector since they have such a hard time reaching cell-only people and can't get representative samples of the population for their surveys...Which of course begs the question: then how did they do THIS survey?

Every telcom is an intentially corrupt business, essentially charging you money for breathing free air.
