ATT enchances 3G networks

[ant131531]

I just got a text saying ATT has improved coverage, stability, and speed in greater atlanta, athens, and north Atlanta. for the 3G network 🙂
Woot does this mean the 7.2 MBPS networks? Has anyone else got this text message? I'm so excited.

no instead in jersey apparently 3g is slow or down since i have to use edge to make phone calls with my g/f. 😕

 

[Laptis]

I got it also. I have had 3g at my home now for a few weeks. Before it was a weak edge signal.

And my reply.

^^ Lol, nice!

I ran a speed test and got 1.9 megs down in metro Atlanta..

 

[Scooterman1]

That's what I was looking for.... A SPEEDTEST from the ones that received that message. That will tell a lot more.

I believe this is related to the rollout of their 850MHz 3G network in the greater Atlanta area. Same speed, different frequency.

Just more reliability when it comes to calls. 850Mhz penetrates buildings better than 1900MHz does; hence, less dropped calls and better reception.

I like it when ATT penetrates. 😱

 

[Unspoken Demise]

Hmm. Im in Norcross GA, maybe 20 miles out from ATL, and havent recieved this.

same here...

I was imagining the same innuendo when I was writing it.... I wish AT&T would uprade to 7.2Mb/s here...🙄

this.

 

[xsecretfiles]

I'm in Atlanta and I didn't get this message 🙁

I get great signal though. It used to switch to Edge once I got home. NOW I don't even turn on my wireless connection anymore

 

[That70sGAdawg]

I'm in the area, but didn't get the text either. There IS an article in todays Gwinnett paper touting the new network capacity. We'll see....

 

[nfl46]

UGH! All they are doing it making Edge slower for us non-3G people. 3G isn't in enough places for them to be doing that...damn u ATT

 

[COBRASVT]

And my reply.

A f'n men!

I got the message as well. Still have ***** coverage in my office!

I'll test it outside later, but dang.

 

[Hunts121]

wow they tell you when they upgrade? I just woke up from a nap one day (literally) and saw I had full 3G service. I up until recently I only had full EDGE available at my house but it was dwindling here and there and then about a week later I had 3G finally. Didn't get a text message though, but I regularly get 1.5-1.9 Mbps though so I'm not complaining haha. It's sometimes faster than my cable internet because their networks are so congested here (charter.)

 

[ant131531]

I just researched it and yeah, it's 850 MHz networks. It's to improve coverage and reception. Yay...Also sprint deplyed it's 4G network in Atlanta. Atlanta must be a very important city to deploy networks in 😛.
