AT&T - had full bars but could barely send or receive text. Get like a bunch at once (that were sent like 20 minutes ago) then it would take 20 minutes to respond.

Well they are there now. They line the top of the stadium, the line the concession area, they are everywhere. Apparently they don't work. What's the point as it was the same as last year.

I could send texts but not pics and i couldn't look up weather, twitter or do anything else with my phone.

But the fact that I can send and receive texts now is good enough for me.

I'm on the north end and use AT&T for my phone but I carry a Verizon mifi. AT&T service was poor to non-existent once the game started but I could hop on Verizon and get twitter updates pretty easy.

Actually worse for me. Got a text from my buddy, "Heisman pose! Ha!"

It was the third quarter...

I had a text message actually go through, but the stadium was pretty empty by then.

iMessages were a no go and then the old school green text was delayed a shite ton.

Not with AT&T. Service inside and outside (in proximity to the stadium) sucked as much as ever.

It's going to take a couple of games to get it tuned right. It doesn't help that the stadium wasn't full either.

Yes I do. But considering every TV timeout is 5 minutes long I would like to be able to do something.
