Cingular is actually doing quite well, all things considered.

No, the 1.1m was *net* -- gross adds were 4.4m. Actual Cingular results:
Upside:
* Total revenue up 4.6% over prior quarter
* Profit of $147m for 2Q FY2005
* Monthly churn of 2.2% - down for the 3rd consecutive quarter.
* Added 1.1m net subscribers.
* Almost all of the 4.4m new subscribers were postpaid.
* 7% of subscriber base switched from TDMA to GSM in the quarter.
* GSM carried 9 out of every 10 minutes of calls on the combined network.
* ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) up 1.7% over prior quarter to $50.75.
* Data ARPU continues strong growth.
* OIBDA Margin improved over prior quarter.
* Integration on schedule.
Downside:
* Still a loss of $93m over the first six months of this year.
* 22 per cent of subscribers have yet to switch from TDMA to GSM.
* Integration still has far to go.

Something else must have been going on, because that's *not* how phones work.

Maybe you have issues that have nothing to do with Cingular.
