• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

iPad 2 - Verizon or AT&T

I plan on buying the new iPad 2 this Friday and was wondering if anyone could tell me how their Verizon coverage is chasing in the Oklahoma area.

I currently have AT&T on my iPhone tethered to my computer but also want to use my iPad on chases. I like the AT&T plans better than Verizon, but having both networks available would be nice.

Is Verizon's coverage while chasing noticeably better than AT&Ts to the point where it is worth paying $20/GB instead of $25/2GB?

Thanks!

Verizon has more 3G coverage than AT&T, but there's a big coverage hole in NW Oklahoma where there's no coverage at all and AT&T at least has EDGE. Check the coverage maps and see where you'll be chasing. Verizon is supposed to be filling the hole soon with 4G, but since the iPad doesn't have 4G it still won't work there.
 
I use Verizon because overall its coverage is so vast, and the times I chase places other than NW Oklahoma easily outstrip the times when I'm there. If I have trouble getting data, my chase partner usually can cover it on Sprint. It pays to have multiple data sources.
