Re: Doesn't Surprise Me More likely that AT&T didn't deploy 'enough' spectrum on 3G.
Many areas (Los Angeles was one) that had issues with capacity when AT&T launched a single 1900MHz carrier channel on UMTS even if I had good signal and was standing next to an AT&T cell site (yes, I know where they are).
I suspect that is the issue in Austin as well. Others have posted about this issue on Howard Forums AT&T 3G .
Part of the 'issue' with UMTS is that both voice and data run over the same spectrum. I.E. a single 5MHz carrier channel has to provide both voice and data for 3G users. CDMA2000 runs voice on 1x and data on either EVDO or 1x. |
