I recently spent a few days in the beautiful Berkshire mountains in western MA ... I have a new (company issued) BlackBerry with T-Mobile Service. While in western MA I had a lot of difficulty getting a signal ... so did folks with other service ... the only people who had service were Verizon users... On the trip home there was a billboard advertizing Verizon .. It said "For coverage worldwide ... including western MA ..."
They weren't kidding ...
