3G Network coming to New Hampshire Nov. 17th

Latest HowardForums update, someone talked with an AT&T tech working at one of their cell towers and they claim 3G will be turned on tonight or tomorrow!

Granted this was in Maine, so that doesn't necessarily mean it will happen here. As always, there is the disclaimer that any last minute problems could result in another delay.

In other words, I will believe it when I see it!

Any word on if your Maine towers are on yet? I'm in New Hampshire and there's still just EDGE... I'm getting Edgy now (pun intended). I'm really hoping I see some sweet 3G by Monday but, I doubt it now. I never used 3G and I'm excited to see how it is.

I have a friend at school with 3g, I'll try it on his. We're not right in portland though so we may not have if for a while while portland does. idk, but I'll let you know after school.
 
3G is HERE in SOMERSWORTH! I'm so excited!!!

My first ever 3G screenshot!

3G in Portsmouth confirmed. 5 bars in a building I normally received 1 or 2 in on edge.

No go rebooting the phone. Maybe AT&T is flipping the switch tower by tower over the day, east to west.

Could also be my location. I will check again when I head home to Manchester.
 
Sounds like they are rolling out 3G east to west. Probably doing groups of towers so they can easily manage any issues that come up.

I heard it can take up to 1 week to be finalized. Just wait I guess. :)
 
I am in South Portland, Maine and I have a full 3G signal for the first time! The Marriott near where I work has a cell tower on it and there was lots of work going on there two weeks ago. I can only assume they were changing out cabinets and antennas to switch it over to 3G.

I can't wait to see if there is signal at home and to see how far north and south it goes!
 
this is great news. Now all Apple needs to do is release a 32GB, cause I got money just waiting.

Looking at the coverage map, my house and the surrounding area's of Manchester are covered in 3G, I'm excited!
 
3g came on in Portland about 11 am this morning. I have had network issues off and on all day ("could not activate cellular data network") but I'm assuming that will clear up soon.
