Who has the best cell coverage where you live?

I live in the San Franciso Bay Area and the best coverage is by far Verizon. I really liked AT&T, but the GSM coverage in the US is dismall at best. Too bad because it is a better service than TDMA or CDMA.. however it's no good in the US as we don't have a good establised GSM network like Europe and Asia...

I live in the Asia, to be exact, Singapore.
We have 3 Cell coverage and its, Starhub, M1, Singtel.
All good.
I once in Indonesia and still have the starhub signal.
NOT ROAMING.
Starhub have the most strongest signal among those three.

I'd say either Verizon or nextel here!

At my college, Cingular is the best. Back home in Plymouth, T-Mobile is the best. They are the opposite in both cities, like T-Mobile sucks at my college and Cingular sucks at my house in Plymouth.

I'm from Karachi, Pakistan. Karachi is biggest city of Pakistan and also third biggest in the world so it is investment heaven for cell phone service providers. Each provider tries to give best service to customers. Mobilink, Telenor, Ufone, Paktel, WaridTel, InstaPhone all have same good service within the city, but outside the city (like in village side), Mobilink wins the race as it has biggest coverage network in Pakistan.

I live in NC. I would say the best coverage here is from Alltel. Their customer service blows however.

I've noticed Sprint's coverage and customer service have both gotten much better since they partnered with Nextel.

...or maybe I've convinced myself since I don't want to pay the early termination fee.
