Bogus coverage maps

About a month or two ago, AT&T changed their coverage viewer on their website. You used to be able to select Voice coverage and get a street-level depiction of their coverage, with a scale of poor, fair, good, and excellent coverage strength. Now, their maps are a binary depiction of coverage, either there's coverage or no coverage.

In many areas, 4G LTE is stated on the maps, but I have experienced 2G coverage.

AT&T is just as bad as Sprint is about its coverage maps now. Completely overstated and bogus claims of 4G coverage where there is none.

T-Mobile is the most honest and transparent about its coverage on its maps. Verizon is a close 2nd, with AT&T and Sprint being complete liars.

I hate AT&T.
