Just got 3G from Cingular

I just signed up with Cingular for 3G, EVDO or whatever flavor it is.

Why is it so slow?

The connection software shows connected at 1.8Mbps. That sounds good, but speed tests generally run 20-40kbps. Sometimes as high as 120kbps. But browsing speeds are no better than 24kbps dial-up. And ping times start at 375ms and get worse from there.

Is this the best I can expect?

I'm in the boonies (zip code 72543).

AT&T THE MOST DROPPED CALLS in NJ

After variuois calls to no-where with customer service, I am at this point. Cingular - the NEW AT&T , from the moment that the company switched over, as I upgraded (spent over $200.00 on NEW Cell phone ) every day drop calls, Customer service suggested for me to claim "buyers -remorse" that it was the phone. I went back to the store to geat another phone, guess what, same problem, 80% drop calls. next phase swap -out the cards,, after 5 new sim-cards for the phone, still no service, system is allways down, drop calls,, continue. The latest is AT&T advises me that the phone may not be working, that I can either exchange it ( refurbished -used ) from repair center, or buy a new phone,,, is it me..? They are claiming that they will make a reort and follow up. it's 3months later, and at this point - I just don't know what to say.. If jump to Verizon for the same level of service - that seems to be working,, I will be paying 45% higher in cost, over a year that ads up... Cingular did have it's issues, but this is outta control.. As far as anycredits for lost services I have to wait, and keep calling back almost everyday.. you sometimes wonder what pushes people..? I wonder howmany oter customers have been having the same problems... the best part, every call is document although not every call get noted.. eventhoughthey do record the calls that come in, but they still don't take the customer seriously enough. So if theres a Lawyer out there looking to begin a case - I'm intrested.. Last year I got caught up in this circle spending almost $900.00 in cell phones for this same run -around.. If Verizon is looking for a sales pitch - or want to buy my story,, for the right price, you might have me intrested.....

AT &T DROPPED CALLS

THE MOST DROPPED CALL ARE CURRENTLY LOCATED ..... have more, post it,, so we know that we are not alone . I am asking the pubilc to begin marking the territoy,,, I'm tired of hearing from AT&T ,,, that only the "Name-changed" ,,, funny how since the change over customers who have been paying $$$ money for services, can no longer use them,, the name may have changed, but they still havent turned on all the towers,,,, to accept Cingulars network...

4 months later going on,, still dropped calls, current ratio 35%

** My facts reflect my Cell phone bills of constant dropped calls, I ask of those who respond to be honest,, about the accuracey / locations of this problem that is in denyal from ATT.. do not lie about the issues or locations.. *****

( this info may be needed by a law firm who might be intrested in this case,, )

Refurbished equiptment thought,, If you bought a new product and it's less than a year old, why would you have to accept "USED" equiptment...
If you bought a NEW car, and there is problems,, do they give you a USED car for your money,,,
If you bought a New Home,,, and there was issues, do you accept an used older home..?
Most electronic retaillers - will allow you to exchange product with in one year,, for new off the shelf,,,,, with a receipt..
even Wal-mart and Costco,, accepts items back for exchanges with in a timely matter - provieded a receipt...
If your at a resturant, the food was made wrong or didn't taste right,, do they give you someone elses food off another plate ( well,, lets not go there yet..?" ) and sell it to you as fresh and new...???

where do you draw the line.... for consumer goods...... and services,,,,
