tvfiberny @12.173.29.x	3g service is ok. i live 20 miles east of the ny state capitol and we have 3G. but verizon has offered EDVO Rev A for a while now. at&t is a little slow in the game which is bad seeing how they have the largest network of people in the U.S. and the most cash flow. back a coupld years ago i would go crazy when i saw 3G in new york and parts of new jersey. i had a cu500 (still do) which was one of the first 3G phones that was on the Cingular network. my phone says Cingular as does my cingular 8525 by HTC. the 3G network is ok at best. I still don't see a huge improvement over at&t's edge network. I do however see a huge decrease in performance on the 3G network compared to Verizon's EDVO Rev A network. 3G is a new but old technology. now im used to seeing "3G" next to the bars on my phone. it just uses more battery in my opinion. & I use the internet everyday on my phone, plus i tether with my laptop. at&t is the deathstar. they are going to sell millions of iPhone 3G's and people are really upgrading for NO reason at all. i mean there are a few other improvements but nothing to trade your old iPhone in for.

dc_att_user @verizon.net	I haven't seen anything faster than EDGE speeds when my phone has been connected to 3G. Very disappointing - and I've tried in many different areas around DC where I would expect coverage to be excellent. Sometimes I even think EDGE is faster. So yeah, more users upgrading for a network that doesn't deliver is going to generate a huge number of complaints. Maybe it'll even get the network fixed?
