Agreed... I live in the same general vicinity in NJ as Alex and ATT service was 
pretty much non-existent anywhere there was no power from what I experienced. I 
have friends on Verizon to whom I've spoken and they didn't seem to notice as 
large of an impact at all on their cellular service.

Probably ATT. Many areas of NJ had zero service from them for days.

 So which wireless carrier is bringing down the average to 81%?

 A quick skim of the article (again,
http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/11/01/storm-sandy-telecoms-idUSL1E8M1L9Z20121101
) makes me suspect ATT.  They're mentioned twice in other context, but
there's not a sites-online statistic for them.

 I suppose it's worth noting that this wouldn't be the first time they've
caught flak for their (in)ability to cover NYC sufficiently.
