ATT stopped all network improvements with the announcement of the merger. Once the merger goes through, I suspect that the resulting coverage will be much better. Cingular will be able to take advantage of the 850 mhz licenses that ATT owns, which will allow for far better building penetration.
In Philadelphia the control channel (where the phone sits on standby) is on 850 mhz, and I have full bars even deep inside the tallest office buildings. It's not bad at all.
