Gotta pay Steve Jobs for his piece
Gotta pay marketing for their part
and of course, AT&T wants a piece.
AT&T's 3G network drops a lot of calls, and I wouldn't recommend it for voice until they deploy more spectrum.
5MHz (10 MHz paired) is deployed in most areas on 3G
35MHz or more is deployed on GSM/EDGE.
If it was data only, I wouldn't care, but dropped calls are horrible.

AT&T's great customer service told me it was a bad phone, while Apple told me to go get a new sim. 2.1 did nothing for me in the dropped call area!

It is a PR page meant to play up their strengths. It doesn't get in to the reason for all their policies. If someone wants "true confessions", they can go to one of the anti-AT&T web pages. |

getting back to customer satisfaction i was an att wireless customer and I was quite happy. Once cingular took over everything went so far down hill. I waited it out and tried to work with them but it was too much. From there i switched and i couldnt be happier.
Now I hear the people that manage hundreds of business lines through AT&T and they couldn't have more problems. Now I assume Sprint could be worse ATT is so unbelievable. It is almost like they don't care if they get your business.

To be honest, here in South Florida, where att 3g is at every corner, I have yet to see a dropped call (at least in the last 2 yrs). I've been with them for years (been on their w-cdma hsdpa 3g since early cingular deployment) and it definitely has improved each year, IMO.
Every area and/or network coverage differs of course, but I'm sure those of you who do experience drops is simply because build out isn't entirely complete in your areas or they could have issues with some equipment.
Nonetheless, to each his own

Really the only 2 things that I see that are untrue is about the innovation part or in their words industry leading (They just follow what works for other companies.) and secondly they have proven time and time again that they could care less if you are a customer and in any division of the company there are always suprises that they could care less about...

Sad to say you can't listen to every word you have to research and figure out what is the best to do for yourself in the end.
As a company with profit in mind I am sure ATT & every other profit making company will tell you what you want to hear. Though they do try not to upset you but it is inevitable they will have un-happy customers.
BTW.... Junk Mail,
Doesn't that elephant get expensive to feed? He looks awfully large.  |

| I have AT&T
They need to deploy more towers. Also need to expand 3G over to here. I am 5 miles from the nearest 3G tower. But I hope when they have 3G all over, I pray they get the speed up to 3mbps. currently i get 600KBPS max avrage 550kbps. Also I never had a dropped call other than when i am down to 1 bar.
Remember Remember back in the 80's that AT&T had total control, since they were MA Bell. They were broken up, but they are trying to regain ma bell status look at how many companies they own.

Re: customer satisfaction
To me it seems that AT&T doesn't care about my business, every time we've placed and order to have something added or changed to our service at the office, AT&T either drops (or completely loses) the ball and it takes 5 weeks to get the order to 'stick' and get completed, or they'll do something totally different from what the order was for like disconnecting 2 main POTS lines when the order was to change the number on an unrelated line.
Also, their wireless voice quality is crap, my boss uses them and we usually can't hear what the other is saying. If it wasn't for them being the only provider in the places he goes, I'd make him switch. |

It makes sense really it does.
If you look close enough to the AT&T Globe it looks like the death star except they haven't installed the small round hole which launches the laser that can blow your planet up.
