Does anyone else just suddenly start to roam in a place they usually have a strong signal

I actually would like clarification on a related issue. I seem to remember reading that CMDA had better clarity as an overall system than GSM. But as more cell phones jumped on a CMDA tower, the radius of its usable signal would decrease. Is that true?

Granted lots of work is going on but I think its just heavy traffic in the area on a maxed out system. These towers systems were constructed when 40MB hard drives were standard in PC's. Think of how much we get in emails with a hefty attachment.

"Cell breathing" does affect CDMA1X but not EV-DO Rev A. So, data usage is basically irrelevant.

"Cell Breathing"

 

Using that term in sentence makes you an automatic expert! I'm sure your resume would scare the crap out of me.

 

Thanks for the response.

So, you have seen work within the city limits? If so, great!

I've been roaming off and on and frequently the past couple of weeks. Half the time I can't even get a data connection here in Huntsville, Alabama. I used to have great 3G. I wish they'd hurry up with whatever they're doing here. I use data nightly to stream music at work. I had to set my phone by the door for it to get a strong enough signal to barely get internet.
