Well, from my small observations of western Long Island during the blackout, I can say that AT&T service was horrible. It appeared that the network was up and running, but they couldn't handle the increased volume from panicky New Yorkers. You had to try a few times just to get anything but a fast busy... IF you had any signal at all.
As far as I know, Verizon's situation ranged from slightly better to just about the same. Probable due only to their denser coverage of the area.
By noon on friday all service seemed back to normal. I have to say that from the quality of their normal service, I was amazed to see them on the ball at all that night... or anywhere in the vicinity of said ball.
