ATT sucks, I have had CDMA and GSM phone (ATT sprint ATT and now back to sprint) and I really feel like CDMA is a better "solution" GSM just feels like a collection of parts cobbled together.
Sure ATT has a higher theortical speed, but real world sprint is better. I had an ATT card and a Sprint one and I always used the sprint. ATT speed was better. but latency and quality of the connect was far worse. Which made browsing the web terrible on ATT. On ATT connections continuosly time out..
If you want to feel this browse to a web site on a Spring or Verizon phone and on ATT 3G and see which one loads faster.
I kinda wish ATT was better so I wasnt limited to american phones... But expensive and sucking is a bad combo for me. *sigh*
Staten island edge is down. my phone isnt evening connecting to a 3G tower.. My data coverage has been disappointing. This reminds me of about 5 - 8 years ago when ATT slowly over sold there network till there service was crap everywhere.
Though I honestly think there data coverage has probably always been bad (In NYC).
I was thinking my phones 3G coverage (not an iphone) has been shat lately, I wonder if this is why? Im general annoyed with ATTs data coverage always have been, and there fewest drop calls lie. I think ill go back to sprint.
Weird I had sprint for 5 years. Call were clear. I didnt even mind customer service thought I rarely called. I left for ATT because sprint phones suck. They are gettings better but they have had YEARS of horrible handsets.
Now im with ATT!!! oddly I find the coverage / call quality much worse. And there data coverage is terrible. My building is 3G some days. some days EDGE only. The price premium for ATT that buys me reduced/inconsistent data coverage annoys me.
"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
