> Also plenty of people on Sprint's network had full bars but could make absolutely no calls and data was extremely slow, but about half a block from the Rio everything worked perfectly again, now it could well be that they were handed off to a different tower, but people on AT&T and T-Mobile weren't having the same issues.
I was definitely having the same issues on AT&T. Falling back to SMS instead of voice or Twitter for communication worked a lot better for coordinating things, although the lag was an issue.
- ssharp 15y agoI was in Vegas this past week, but not for Defcon and I was on the Strip, not at the Rio, and still had flaky service. However, I've always had flaky service when on the strip. I am able to make calls, but it would delay before the phone started ringing, texts messages would hang longer than usual, and 3G data transfers were painfully slow. But again, nothing out of the ordinary for that part of town.
