Default Poll: Verizon or Cingular?

Apparently, my 2-year contract with Verizon is up. My fiancee works for Genentech and they have some pretty good discounts for Cingular phones and service.

I must admit that I'm pretty satisfied with Verizon with my LG flip phone. No problems at all and the service was good (except for Tahoe sometimes).

Kinda scared because I've heard some horror stories with Cingular. Any thoughts?

Default In SF go Verizon. Cingular sucks in SF. AT&T was on par w/ Verizon, but coverage has

declined since the merger and converting customers to the Cingular network.

Other areas of the bay could be different.

Default Sucks in south bay too. Had Cingular when I moved up here, couldn't get reception

around home. Switched to AT&T, had no problems. Now that it's back to Cingular, it's back to sucking.

V for the B.A.....and you're right about Tahoe, where Cingular is much better, IME. Go figure.
