Well, that didn't work to create a link so here is the shortcut.
PS, Verizon Has 6000 something votes already, more than double that of the next competitor sprint, so to the trolls here I am not attempting to swing the vote.

'Tis sad that both muchdrama and PhoenixAshes are in such states of denial.
"Denial: Denial is a defense mechanism in which a person unconsciously rejects thoughts, feelins, needs, wishes, or external realities that they would not be able to deal with if they got into the conscious mind. For example, when people are told that they have a terminal illness and are going to die in a short period of time, the news can be so overwhelming that they enter into a state of denial--they refuse (on every level) to accept that they are going to die soon because it is much too painful to handle."
Apparently facts, as well as the science of mathematics, statistical sampling & analysis, probabilities, etc. mean nothing, du...

More denial from OK.
As to me, no, I don't work for CR and I don't work in the cellular industry.

More denial from you I'd say. You are denying the fact that no one really cares. You are also denying the fact that 95% of wireless subscribers don't care about consumer reports, this website, or the opinion of you or your mom.
The only thing I am denying is your ability to shove your opinion on me.
You don't work in the wireless industry? Let me guess- you work for a video game company too? 🙄 Let see if I have this right-
You have come one here in this forum and posted at least 50 times in the last few days about a consumer reports magazine article that apparently says that your fa...

Hi Cain. Could you and furry keep the majority of this hissy-spat on the Cingular forum? Thanks. 🙂

Hi Terry. Please don't start with that. I am not and have never been Cain. If you like you could report me to the moderators, and they will tell you the same thing. Do you guys always badger cingular employees this way?
i guess you don't mind muchdrama and furry "hissy-spatting" do you? must be because they all like verizon.
I tell you what. Let's conduct a poll and see how many of the regular forum users are IN the wireless industry. Then we can check their posts and see how much "insider info" the non wireless employees have. I would bet that you and furry would be among a very select few that know what you know without actually being in the industry.
Let's see... you make videogames for a living but you happen to know "IT Ninjas" tha...

not as nice as it is to watch the idiocy posted in this forum. it's pretty fun. i'm going to put away this phone shipment, but when i get back, i expect to see some of the snide, snippy comments that make the industry look so good. come on, i know you can do it. you know... if you're not too busy making that hot, new video game for "shenkenko" 🤣 🤣 🤣

Posting this on all 5 of the forums would have been the fair thing to do, don't you think?
Nevertheless, Verizon is indeed leaps and bounds ahead.

ok, Sam. I would think that an "operations manager" might read it. I'm sure "The Donald" reads it too, but I don't care what company he uses.
Before you quote this and add a smart comment, I already know he uses Verizon. We had a Donald poster in our store.

Yeah, I read Forbes sometimes too, though admittedly I read The Economist and Business Week more. Still, Forbes has impressed me with the quality of their articles. Its generally a good read.

The magazine in question never conducted a test..
So how is it they claim anyone is the best?
oh, they asked a few subscribers of Consumer Reports...
that method is severely flawed, so save your retorts...
thank you

Ah, but since when is 39,000 a few
That church seems to be lacking a pew
It hardly matters what we say
Mobs of consumers will read CR's wordplay
And come to what conclusions they may.

.025? It matters not
Political polls accurately use less than that lot
School? Statistical scientists who've obviously been there
Have little problem working out what's fair.
Celtics, Shmeltics, people know when something works for them
Why pretend otherwise and haw and hem?
The media's not perfect, that much is true
But CR pinches no dimes, and pennies few
They're a non-profit that accepts no ads...
didn't remember that, did you?

but this is a rather silly fight...
but a survey of it's own customers is flawed everyone knows...

CR 'tells' its customers what to like?
My, what an unusual mental hike
I guess when they rate Toyotas and Hondas high
Its not based on customer say, but paid-off editor spies
Why fret, the customers have spoken
There's always next year, and old impressions were made to be broken.

A poet I am not so I'm just gonna say it like this:
"According to economies of scale, in amounts greater than 1,000,000, if true and unbiased answers are give, as little as 1% may accurately reflect the attitudes of the whole within a degree of margin of +-2.5%"
As for the bias of the those interviewed I wouldn't know but based upon scale the article in CR is accurate enough for me and meets scale methodologies.
