Wireless Coverage in Redwood City and Tahoe and Heavenly!
Well, this weekend, I was at a friend's place in Redwood City, CA, and can say that, where they live, I TMobile service is very poor. Cingular, Verizon, Sprint all appear to work fine. Cannot get Cingular HSDPA here, but GPRS/EDGE is okay.
I was also in South Lake Tahoe, and noticed that mobile service on the top of the ridge on Tramway on the Nevada side of Heavely was quite good with most carrier having extremely strong service. TMobile service was showing full service, Cingular was showing full service, and Sprint was showing very good service. However, I could not get HSDPA here, and my 1xRT/EvDO card could not get a signal. How sad. The best I could muster was 110k on EDGE on a Powerbook G4 with the Cingular Option GT Max card and about the 90k on my SprintPCS 1xRT connection with a Samsung I500 tethered to a Thinkpad running XP.
In Sacramento, voice coverage with TMobile, Sprint, and Cingular all seemed A-OK going up 80 to hwy 50...
