Re-activateHow satisfied are you with your cell phone service provider? Consumer Reports surveyed 58,000 readers in 23 metropolitan areas in the U.S. to find out how they would answer that question. Some of the results were unexpected; others, sadly, were fairly predictable.
Iin last week's "Into Tomorrow with Dave Graveline," Consumer Reports Web Senior Editor Paul Eng spoke with Dave about some of the survey's most interesting results. In this Sound Byte podcast (click to listen), Paul names the lowest-rated provider as well as the small local provider that scored surprisingly well. See how well your provider stacks up.
