I am a AT&T customer myself and really never had any serious problems out of that weather related one (that was outside the control of AT&T). It's their tech support that sucks beyond all. They barley understand how their system works (I don't even think the techs think their wireless internet uses IPv4); but hey look at it from a technical standpoint - if they don't know the whatcha-ma-call-it from the thing-a-ma-jig then you can get away with so much on their network  . Most of the providers don't care about the technical users, they cater to the average user and since the average user is dumb...they just want phones and devices that just work and are so easy to use a 5 year old can use them (its pretty insulting if you think about it!). In fact every time I call up I talk to a person pretty quickly - now getting my problem solved is another story in itself.
I don't see AT&T's network to be a bad one, in fact on my mobile phone I have noticed that AT&T DOES NOT "wall garden" you, or in other words, prevent you from using services on other ports (such as FTP, RDP...ect), which I believe T-Mobile used to do that. Even in a recent conference tmobile still believes that "limiting the customer experience make for a better customer experience"...
And you wonder why wireless is at a standstill. It's coming, the next era of information age, where all the access to the internet will be in the palm of your hands (no I'm talking about google). Someone in the near future will setup a way to get newspapers, tv, movies, music, magazines all in one device. And all the data will be OTA, wither the provider likes it or not. |

Re: He's right My experience is the same. I have had no problems with Internet access via AT&T Wireless such as blocked services or other "walled garden" nonsense. Even normal SMTP works.
Your info device looks a lot like a Kindle 2, by the way. |

Your info device looks a lot like a Kindle 2, by the way. The Kindle 2 is monochrome, but it is defiantly something to watch out for. I think its that one small step forward. I just hope we don't take 2 steps back...which Amazon might be doing because they just disabled text to speech and made it so you have to pay more to use it.
We will see what happens next :\. |
