said by GMFreak8:ATT can barely deploy UMTS and they're talking about upgrading to HSPA+. Their UMTS network is a joke compared to Verizon and Sprint EVDO coverage. Which is sad especially for me, considering I have to try and sell people on ATT data plans at my job when they can go right across the street and get a plan from Verizon that offers a much better data experience. I've run out of excuses for ATT being so slow at deploying a decent 3G coverage area.
I was never able to get faster than 500kbps on Sprint EV-DO. For me AT&T EDGE feels just as fast as Sprint EVDO when browsing webpages. The advantage I see is with HSDA I can be on the phone and use data at the same time, which I couldn't do anyways with Sprint... none Sprint's current devices (RevA) can do it, either. So until AT&T deploys 3G everywhere I get the same exact experience I had with Sprint.
