Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years are typically the times when it’s hardest to send a text message because the networks are so bogged down with everyone trying to get in touch with everyone...

Psshh, those in the crowd will be too mesmorized by the man-child messiah of their dreams to make phone calls anyways. God forbid they take their eyes off of the annointed one for the few seconds it takes to send a text message.

Wait, what am I talking about. All of the world's problems will be gone tomorrow anyways. Coverage and bandwidth problems, wars, global warming, all a thing of the past. Just have hope, say "yes we can", and your call will get through.

Wow, can anyone say Obama hater?

Wow....Ronrico...could you be any more ignorant....republicans would of won had they ran on trying to propose solutions to the problems versus the hate/fear mongering they were spewing...Obviously you listen to rush limbaugh way too much...

I didn't say anything bad about Obama. I was making fun of the crowds of fans who have absolutely zero political-historical context and actually believe the crap the guy promised (Most of which he has already reversed his stance on, but I wouldn't expect these people to keep up with that kind of thing anyways.)

And yes, Republicans deserved to lose with the candidate they chose. Either way, it was "We're screwed 2008"

It took Bush 8 years to get us in the hole we are in, no one expects Obama to be able to fix everything in one day.

Well lads, bringing this discussion back to the intended topic, how have you been finding cell coverage so far?

 

[JMcEntegart]

Also, how did you find the internet streaming? We thought it would be grand but the lads in our Culver City office weren't able to watch...

Fix'd for ya there.

I'm glad that the cell providers saw a need and actually worked on making sure that their networks were ready for the increased volume.

And on a personal note to Dubya: Get out... Don't come back and don't let the door hit you on your way out.

Thanks curnel_D. As I was reading your comment I was cursing you for your first paragraph... 😉 Not many have been commenting on the cell phone coverage (most have opted for a good moan and groan about the streaming), although a couple of people have said it was fairly decent, only skipping for a second and only a couple of times throughout. Hmm...

Loads of different sites are doing them. The BBC, Hulu etc. The most reliable at the moment (judging from comments on this piece) seems to be CNN. Check it out here.
