| ATT is a joke here in OKC, OK They always put their customer LAST. The reason they are doing this is because the CAN with the heavily restricted iPhone. It's a great phone but it would be much better as a CDMA device and not on ATT's crap network.
Sereral things make the ATT network not able to work with the Slingplayer:
1. Truely a lack of bandwidth. There isn't enough to go around for the amount of towers vs. bandwidth vs. customer load. They rape us for 30 dollars a month but really they don't have enough room for all of us to really use what we pay for. I have an iPhone because the good exceeds the bad. In a couple of years when handsets are better and our Altel system here is improved by Verizon, I'll be leaving the ATT idiots.
2. Their junky system needs a tweek. I can't even keep a 24k audio stream going mobile. How would it work with video rolling down the road? Forget it. If a person is serious about doing mulitimedia, then Sprint or another CDMA network is the answer. At my house, which is right in the middle of town, I go from 3g to Edge to no signal. The good thing about ATT is they have towers in the rural areas that are their own. The bad thing is they can't even make a decent dial tone without drops in the city.
Does anyone know when the millstone comes off Apple's neck? (ATT exclusive contract) Surely it's not a forever deal. The way I see it, ATT needs Apple a WHOLE lot more than Apple needs ATT and their restrictive policies.

College Station, TX | iansltx just listed some good points regarding the problems carriers are faced with. You just choose to hear what you want to hear, and that's fine. You can keep beating on your drum, but there will be very few who choose to listen at this point. |

Give me a break, you are the joke here.
Is it that the carriers are being stingy with bandwidth/upgrades, or is it that users have an unrealistic expectation of what the network should do? This ranks right up there with people saying Linux sucks because they can't run Microsoft Word on it. Some things just ain't gonna happen, no matter how much you stamp your feet and hold your breath. |
