Over the past month our AT&T 3G cellular coverage here in New York City has been horrendous and getting worse all the time.1) Dropped calls despite full bars
2) Failed calls despite full bars
3) Spotty 3G coverage despite full bars
Something is not right here... maybe time to roll out that femtocell strategy in earnest AT&T, cause things are getting ugly. So ugly in fact, my girlfriend went out and purchased a cheap LG Verizon phone with a 2 year contract for her business calls since her iPhone reception was becoming too unreliable.
To be fair I would say that I only encounter issues 20% of the time, but I used to have no issues at all.

UPDATE Oct 1st, 2009:
Yep, almost two weeks after noting our coverage has diminished to new levels of bad, offical reports are starting to surface from Apple pointing to AT&T as the culprit.
