I know this isn't exactly fishing related but I couldn't think of a better place to ask. I'm looking at getting an iphone and AT&T cell service. I spend a good bit of time on Lake Fork and would like to hear from others about how well the broadband coverage is for the area. AT&T shows it to be really spotty around the lake. Thanks Clyde

Broadband is really weak out there. I tried every carrier for the data cards. The best coverage was sprint.

I've got an iphone 4 with AT&T and as long as I'm over the water out there I get decent reception. Email, text and phone service works. As soon as I'm in the parking lot loading my boat reception is gone until I get out of the Emory area.
