<snip> The U.S. Federal Communications Commission said on Thursday that about 19 percent of towers were still offline that morning down from 25 percent the day after the storm. Verizon Wireless, a venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone Group Plc, said on Thursday that about 96 percent of their cellsite were up and running, up from 94 percent the day before. Sprint, the No. 3 U.S. operator said that more than 80 percent of its network was operating by Thursday evening. T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom, said it had completed 85 percent of its restoration in New York by Thursday evening. However it is only 80 percent complete in Staten Island, a borough of New York. <snip> So which wireless carrier is bringing down the average to 81%?
