@VZW Well regardless of what they are doing, My Carrier is almost 2x as fast in 3G speed of just 1.6mbps. our slowest 3G speed EVDO even REV A hasnt even seen 1mbps. So why dont you get off this arcticle VZW fanchild.

it's been shown a lot that even though Att theoredical speed is twice that of Verizon, there network cannot opperate at that speed due to heavy network strain. real world application Verizon is faster

@Dadler22 Theoretical speeds don't mean much when you're in the middle of a metropolitan area and your phone refuses to hop on the 3G network because droves of iPhone users are busy updating their fart, beer, or some other assinine application. @lolipopjones Always so insightful.

@rjt Theoretical wasnt what i was talking about, i was talking a speed test preformed on an iPhone 3G not 3Gs and a HTC Driod Eris. If you want Theoretical, use my LG GW820s 7.2mbps downstream speed. which is around 10x faster than EV-DO. Sorry.

att has doomed themselves to always have to play catch up...

Yeah wait till LTE comes out, they'll be playing catch up with that too. Verizon pushed for the largest 3G network and I'm sure they'll push for the largest 4G network as well.

I don't even give a fuck about speeds in a phone. It is a pain in the ass to surf the web on a phone.

I have been telling you all this for some time now. We (at&t) have been beefing up each of our cell sites and feeding them with a completely new fiber optic backbone. This is what I do. They don't tell the public everything. We knew the iToy would kill the network to begin with that's why it was only offered on edge originally. But the people wanted more more more, so we gave it to them and cut off our faces to spite our noses in the process. Some of these new android phones we plan on offering in the short future require an "always on" data connection. They will eat up a lot of bandwidth. It's not just the iToy that eats up the bandwidth. All the outside technicians use a laptop with a built in 3g air card that also has an always on data connection. So we know we need to make some changes and we are trying to go about it in the most cost effective manner.
