ever since I came into work this morning the AT&T data network has been ridiculously slow, barely can load a webpage or refresh twitter....anyone else in metro atlanta experiencing this?
 
I noticed it yesterday being that way while I was down near the Mall of Georgia shopping, but I'm not in that area today. I couldn't access the data network at all yesterday, and it lasted pretty much all day.
 
I'm about 15 minutes from there in Gwinnett county...wonder if there is some problems with towers over on this side of ATL
 
Didn't really notice since i've been in my office all day in Marietta...

Anyways just ran the speedtest and my att 3G is looking like this 4 bars:

1.78Mbps download
.35 Mbps Upload.
 
Jumping in this conversation late. I've had problems for the last couple of weeks at various places around Atlanta. I don't know what changed but suddenly data speeds have slowed to a crawl.

Downtown I'm getting 0.00 to 0.20 down, and roughly the same going up. Ping times are all over the place. At home or any place that's not congested I still get decent speeds. From 1.5 to 3.5Mpbs down and 0.50 to 1.25Mpbs up. (Better than DSL in some spots.)

If it were just one day it'd be no big deal but it's been persistent and also affecting my ability to place calls. I hope it's just an errant update.
