They may have licenses that allow them to cover 98% of the surface
area (to use your number), but actual coverage is nowhere near that.

(And this includes both the older 850 MHz and newer 1.9 GHz bands.)

Worked fine for me. Looks like a vast difference between the 98% claim and
reality.

It's probably the old version of Safari I'm using then. I've noticed
that I have more trouble with some web sites these days as Apple is not
supporting this version of the browser any more. The latest operating
system Leopard still has some issues and I'll probably wait a little
longer to upgrade.
