More Bars in Less Places

I find the ad campaign by AT&T Wireless regarding more bars in more places to be one of the more interesting ad campaigns because as far as wireless data is concerned, the network's 3G coverage is not nearly as good as Verizon's EVDO.

I've also experienced fast and very slow download speeds with the iPhone 3G - even in 3G mode. All in all the iPhone' UI makes up for connectivity issues but it is understandable that class action suits have developed as a result of the slow 3G performance many blame on AT&T... You see, the wireless carrier forces you to purchase a wireless data plan and then for many, the speed of the network is slower than their expectations.

The question is now, will this lawsuit pave the way for even more lawsuits targeted at service providers.
