| I think AT&T is just upgrading the capacity thats all "Here," this map might be somewhat useful to a point, for some users instead of arguing over nonsense on the Dslreports.com Forums. | |

| (sorry, but) Oh Hell No! ~:( ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
AT&T has the shi**iest 3G coverage in the S.F. Bay Area! Edge is the only reliable service in our area!! On my iPhone 3G, and a family members LG CU500V, Edge is the only type of service that does not drop out during a drive of 4 blocks or more. The 3G in any other city in the Bay Area aside San Francisco itself is absolute crap. On certain streets, you get 3G service, but on others, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
at&t NEEDS to improve their network in the Bay Area before making this move, or else there will be a LOAD OF PISSED OFF CUSTOMERS IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. In some large areas (malls, shopping plazas, etc.), 3G is only available during the late evening or early morning, when no one is using their cell phones. During the day, 3G is not available. I would think that there is a MAJOR CAPACITY PROBLEM IN THE SF BAY AREA, that really needs to be fixed before this is done.
thanks for reading my comment/suggestion.

| Re: (sorry, but) Oh Hell No! ~:( Sir, you said, "you are using he LGCU500 with your whole family using it henceforth, that is first generation 3g handset," and second of all, It is outdated phone wise, and more then likely its a outdated sim card, replace all of your sim cards. I did in mine, and I noticed a big time difference in dropped calls, and which are basically done, and my phone has unbelieveable signal strength, I am in the Racine, Wisconsin area with 3g coverage, and I mean wow big time improvement, speed, and reliability wise on the phone, and the sim card powering the signal. Its the not the AT&T Network. Its more then likely outdated sim cards, and phones on the users behalf, "Read this if you care to you will understand what I mean." | |

| Re: (sorry, but) Oh Hell No! ~:( anonuser1101,
thanks for the suggestion. The SIM cards in both phones are new (within the last three months), and the service on BOTH phones (iPhone 3g *Software version 2.2*, and LG CU500V) is really bad.
Secondly, you do not live in my area, so you do not know what my issues specifically are.
Thank you for your response.

| ALL hearsay no facts.... well people reading all the previous posts especially from page 1 if you noticed was pure hearsay no real facts to back up any of the comments made on all matters. This article even makes no claim of where in ATT this source of information originated from. IS there and Original document that we the people can refer to and come to our own conclusions. Im not saying this couldn't or wouldn't happen as we all know the old gets thrown out for the new. But the real question is when, where, how, and why? and Please have the facts to back it up. Hearsay is just Gossip and like most gossip is untrue. I love GSM over CDMA but ATT for none the less a better choice of words.... SUCKS. Shitty coverage for anyone who travels and BS Customer service. I do find with my quad-band nokia unlocked phone or blackberry in Heavily populated areas it fairly decent, as I live in Chicago, But I travel to Orlando, Miami, NYC, LA, and Toronto,Canada (roaming on Rogers) on a regular basis. Also my weekend home in ST. Anne IL, where ATT swares they have coverage I can't get a signal (ANY SIGNAL WHATSOEVER 850 or 1900 mhz tower) to save MY LIFE INDOOR OR OUTSIDE! so 3G or EDGE needless to say, means crap to me at that point! | |
