AT&T coverage: Do you have 3g?

[Ntombi]

I can't recall the last time I didn't have 3G...

Me neither. I think it was sometime in fall of 2008. When I first got the 3G, there were some areas of spotty coverage, but I had 3G about 80% of the time. They gradually filled in, and I haven't had to revert to edge in a mighty long time.

20 Minutes out of Philly, PA. In the suburbs. Usually have full 3G except for a few dead zones.

Neat and perfect 3G where I live. Although I am not currently in it at the moment.

3G all over! North Jersey and NYC.

I live in Delaware and I get full 3g bars everywhere, also get full bars in the philly area.

Sometimes when I go to Maryland I might get less bars but then it switches to edge at full bars.

I've had 3G in my area (Northwest Indiana) for several years. Probably helps that I'm so close to Chicago.

Mine is so good at home and work that I rarely turn Wi-Fi on...

Cheers.

Hometown in Northern VA, yes
College town in small city in VA, considered fourth largest metropolitan region in VA, no. I do get wi-fi on school Grounds though, so I'll just turn 3G off while at school

no..
earlier this year they decided to start rolling out 3g, and just put it in and around the stupid golf course where they play the masters. so I guess if I wanted 3g I'd have to start golfing.

makes no sense.. the only thing in that area is the golf course that gets crowded once a year for one week, some crappy apartments, and closed businesses

We've seen a huge improvement in the Austin and Killeen, TX areas during the past 18 months. 3G has gotten stronger and more reliable. Add to that the benefits of the 3GS iPhone, and surfing/downloading using 3G is becoming a much nicer experience!

 

[Johnnybrav0]

Yes...I always have 3g coverage...I'm in Twin Cities...Minnesota...

 

[eye.surgeon]

I have it everywhere, but I keep it turned off most of the time (for battery life).

What's the point. You're crippling the phone.

 

[Hunts121]

not at my house, though go 10 min in any direction and I have it....strange haha

I tried the iPhone back in late Feb/early Mrch and the service was horrible - did not even have good EDGE some of the time. 3g was in/out and you could have 5 bars in one place, go a mile and have 0 bars. I heard that Austin TX had been upgraded and I called to check towers in my area - and there was at least 2 more closer to me. I got a 3GS this weekend and 3G is rocking for me now. I still have a Sprint account and a Palm Pre. ATT's 3G is better than either - and I have been a long time happy Sprint customer. My SpeedTest numbers are double the speed on the 3GS vs. the Pre. The Pre is going back today.

I have 3G at home but not at school.
