As an old leftie, I took great interest in Working Assets when they
first appeared several decades ago. We used their credit card and
long-distance phone plan. After decades of diligent credit card use,
there were a couple instances in which we submitted payments late by an
insignificant time (insignificant to us or any other sensible observer
of our multi-year record). Working Assets promptly raised our interest
rate to something around 24%. This is such a barbaric outrage that I
refuse to have anything to do with Working Assets or their heirs and
assigns. Sure, AT&T is not the people's friend; but, neither is any
organization that allows that kind of outlandish usury. We were able to
move to another source of credit-card convenience. But, I wonder how
many people of more limited means have been crushed by this company that
preys on our idealism.
(Yes, I know that WA sold their credit business to some other provider
and, thus, had no control over the details of the credit policy. I don't
consider that an excuse for an organization founded on delivering not
only the financial service but a set of social principles. If they can't
run a moral business, by all means go out of business.)
Aside from that, I don't know anything about their current cell phone
service.

I'm interested in what experience folks locally have with CREDO (formerly Working Assets) for cell coverage. They do have nicer/greener politics than Verizon or ATT. From my house, there is no Verizon coverage, but ATT comes in strong. Is CREDO's network comparable locally to one of these?
