Still Waiting

I don't own a cell phone. For years I've been saying that I would wait
for the service to improve - it hansn't.
My 3 kids (all in 20's) have phones, as does my brother-I-L, and
several other friends.
As a guess I would say that >90% of the calls from or to a cell are
either interrupted (garble, static, silence, etc) or even dropped.
The phones keep getting better but the infrastructure still seems
poor.
I would guess that if the cell user were in a city the reuslts might
be better.
