	I took John Higdon's rantings about his Sprint service with a
grain of salt (considering the *excellent* S/N I get on Sprint calls
originating here in Seattle to most of the rest of the country) until
I placed a Sprint call yesterday to the 521 exchange in area 415. I
could barely understand the person on the other end (OK, I was in a
computer room with a big air conditioner, but that's not normally a
problem.)

	On the other hand, my mother-in-law has one line in (415)653
and the other in (415)655, and we never have any noise problems when
calling her or when she calls us (her default carrier is Sprint too).

	I'm not familiar with the exchange-to-geography mapping in 415.
