I (currently) have Verizon. Has anyone else noticed that inside the ATL terminal walls, data is 'fairly' quick, but as soon as you go outside the walls, ie in the airplane, the data speed is near zero?

Does AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, etc. do the same thing?

Doesn’t do it on the 320, though. No clue what the particular cause is on the big bus, and it works just fine outside of the cockpit on it, too.

Since they are focused within the terminal and not without, you would lose coverage. The articles during the power outage referenced the reason info wasn't getting into the terminals is because the cell booster antennas also lost power.

So, is there any reason to stick with an IOS phone related to the tablet? Aside from the ease of transferring files via airdrop? I’m getting ready for a new phone and was considering leaving the cult for a Samsung...

You know the joy when your iPhone rings at home and so does your iPad, Mac, etc simultaneously.

That's the most annoying default in the industry. What idiot thought of that?
