I'm visiting in a hospital and can't connect to data. I was unable to connect for four days until the owner of my plan got AT&T to reconnect me. Now I can't connect here in the hospital and don't know if I'm having the same problem I was or if something about the wiring in a big hospital can keep me from getting data.

some hospitals have internal antennae for cellular networks. They may have data bollixed up. Are you roaming on audio ?

Ask a regular staff member if they have similar issues.

Saint Cloud, Minnesota, where the weather is wonderful even when it isn't.

In my experience, around my office and at home, is that ATT sux.

If you only have cel service near a window they don't have repeaters inside.
They might have wifi.

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

The operating rooms of Sacred Heart Medical Center here in Spokane are partially underground and built on the side of a hill. Also I think most modern hospitals are built like forts with thick cement walls.

ATT reception was non existent until repeaters were place in the ceilings in 2010. Verizon was always better but still spotty with one group of four pre-op rooms with no signal for voice or data.

I'm not surprised you are having troubles.

For some must watch, while some must sleep
So runs the world away

Barely a bar on AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile on LTE or 3G once I stepped away from the window in any of the last several hospitals that I visited.

But every waiting room had a sign displaying the hospital WiFi network name and password and it was surprisingly not awful. Was easily able to stream Netflix to entertain the kids.

Well, I just got back online at the library. My cell phone is not connecting to data since last Saturday, except Tuesday afternoon and up until it went back out yesterday around the time I went into the hospital to visit someone. It's my niece's account and she is so busy (or acts like it) that she doesn't respond to my requests for AT&T to fix the problem.
