4G speeds? Laughable. Networks in Canada support 42 Mbps down theoretically. It's ashame the American networks are living in 2006.
Try switching servers
Why is this a good thing?
She's locked into an expensive contract for an even longer term?
I'm confused here.
Let's see, The population of Germany: 82M, Australia: 22M, France 62M, Canada: 34M, Japan: 128M, UK: 62M (total: 390M) vs US: 307M.
If we assume double popularity in US means 2.4M iPhones sold in US
If we assume equal popularity in US means 1.8M iPhones sold in US
either way, 1M iPhones activated by ATT is impressive.
I switched to Verizon. Sure, it's cool and all to simultaneously surf & talk at the same time, I decided to choose reliable call quality over the surf & talk. I had dropped calls constantly, usually one bar in my apartment. Terrible.
AT&T touts its network speed as one of the primary reasons customers are choosing the carrier over Verizon and Sprint.
"AT&T touts its network speed as one of the primary reasons"
...or maybe cause it is now the lowest priced carrier that offers the iPhone.
"Theoretically".
Do you similarly bash Verizon's LTE network? They have no problem calling it 4G, and in Chicago, AT&T's 3G "4G" usually beats it.
That's probably because it's impossible to make a call.
AT&T Announces One Million iPhone 4S Activations
And thats not even counting all activations AT&T will get WHEN they get around to delivering the iPhones to all of us that got SUCKERED into pre-ordering our iPhones through AT&T.
Like many others, I pre-ordered my iPhone at my local AT&T back on the 7th and my phone is still listed as backordered. In the meantime, anyone (except those of us that pre-ordered) can walk into the same AT&T store and walk out with an iPhone. I was told that they have iPhones in stock but I cant buy one because I pre-ordered one. I asked that they cancel my pre-order and let me just buy one they have in stock. They said that they have to wait until my iPhone arrives before they can cancel the order.
AT&T INTENTIONALLY MISLED us into pre-ordering our iPhones with the FULL KNOWLEDGE that we would go to the end of the line. AT&T does NOT CARE because they know that the majority of us, for whatever reason, will not switch to another carrier. We may bitch and complain, but THEY DONT CARE. They know we will just BEND OVER AND TAKE IT.
I just wish AT&T would have at least used a little LUBRICATION!!!

As far as real world data speed improvement, I'm seeing my 4S running at speeds twice as fast as my iPhone 4 all over Houston. I'm really impressed thus far. HSPA+ is legit.
I've had every iPhone since the first one, and granted I switched from T-Mobile, I have had 0 problems with AT&T in Houston, Texas. At this point now that just about every major carrier has the iPhone, AT&T has given me no real reason to switch I'm happy with their service.I think a lot of people are in similar situations where they are only still on AT&T because they've been getting the iPhone every year and don't want to pay the cancellation fees.
IDK about everyone else but I get the same 3.5 - 4.5 Mbps download as I did on my iPhone 4 as my iPhone 4s. So IDK about there so called 4G cough cough on there 3G cough network. Damn cold.![]()

I am in Crystal City and the speeds I get seem to mirror what you posted (indoors).Where are you? I'm in large building's basement with poor signal near Union Station:

And it gets better if I go outside. 7 tests? You should probably try to exchange your phone.
T-Mobile USA is running the 42Mbps standard. And Verizon and AT&T have LTE networks which unfortunately beats your 'elite' altitude.![]()
LOL...
I've had 50/5 service actually offering 50/5 speeds since 2009. Even the buses here have LTE service ... they drive around the city acting as a relay.
