Maybe some day T will get in the game?

It doesn't really bother me that I don't have 3G service at home as I use my conventional Internet there. I figure over time AT&T will eventually roll out 3G to most, if not all, of its service area, just like they did with EDGE.

Yeah how about actually expanding 3G service I mean if everyone is going to jump on and say do you really expect coverage in xyz then why aren't all of these tiny towns still on GPRS or for that matter TDMA. AT&T needs to get on the ball and actually expand 3G as far as I know there are only three cities in Alabama covered by 3G and it only covers about 20 to 30 miles, not exactly productive there.

Even Sprint which has ZERO coverage in my tiny little town does actually have 3G coverage in the southern end of my county. Explain that one. Verizon has 3G within a much closer area to me than at&t. That tells me if 3G is coming it's coming sooner from either Sprint or Verizon. so why go with at&t. Go to each website and see the 3G coverage from each in my state at&t's is woefully behind the other 2. |

Let compare broadband ocverage in my neck of the woods. Sprint is the top pic with broadband in ORANGE. Verizon is under that with broadband in BLUE. AT&T is on the bottom with broadband also in BLUE. No mattter how you slice it at&t sucks. ZERO EXCUSES. |

Birmingham/Cullman/Hoover Metro area's are all covered by 3G.
I am in Hoover and get 3G everywhere i go, all the way down to Alabaster and through most parts of Shelby and Jeffco. But Compared to Verizon's 3G coverage it sucks. I have a house out in Oak Grove in West Jefferson County, and I get spotty 3G service there. |

Yeah and that still isn't even close to half of the state's population when other cities like Tuscaloosa, Gadsden, Mobile, Dothan, ect. aren't covered. The fact is AT&T's 3G coverage is seriously lacking when it comes to other carriers (other than T-Mobile)

The fact is AT&T's 3G coverage is seriously lacking when it comes to other carriers (other than T-Mobile) I was shocked when I went down to Mobile and Gulf Shores that all I had was GSM EDGE coverage. They just now got 3G in Montgomery. Tuscaloosa and Auburn should have 3G coverage too because of UA and AU. |

Winfield, AL | Yep I would guess about 90% of AT&T's network is without 3G

I am happy with their voice service, my family has their service, and I am not on contract, so if my needs do change it is pretty easy for me to do so.
