Yup, but for some folks (me included) it's a pretty decent
offering. I have a huge problem with reception at home and
my options were limited:

1. Switch carrier. Verizon and Sprint reception is just as
   bad. T-Mobile is fine but I don't like other aspects of
   their package.

2. Install a repeater. Something of a crap-shoot and a 
   decent one would have cost a *lot* more than the $150
   I paid for the Microcell.

For me, it solved my one and only serious problem -- for
a one-time payment of $150 and no additional monthly fees.

That's something I can live with. And I'm no AT&T fan boy
either. I'd ditch 'em in a heartbeat if I could. Having
said, that I've found the wireless side of AT&T to be far
less obnoxious than the copper side.
