Slow in NYC

When the 3GS came out, service was great in NYC but lately latency and speeds have been horrible. I need to call ATT support and put in a ticket. If it continues, I will dispute the bill.

Re: Slow in NYC

From Battery park all the way up to Putnam County, my connectivity, speed and reliability is generally somewhere between "crap" and "ok."

Re: Slow in NYC

Yikes!

Down here in S. Florida, my 3G speeds are always fast, day and night. That's one thing I can say about AT&T down here, their 3G speeds rock.

That's closer to the speeds I get with Verizon. If Verizon gets the iPhone I might actually get my first Apple product.

That's where I am at right now. My mom (and brother) just switched from Verizon to AT&T for the iPhone. My Dad remains on Verizon with an el-cheapo phone. I remain on Verizon with a slightly better el-cheapo phone.

I will not change from Verizon to AT&T for the iPhone. If Verizon gets the iPhone, then I would be interested. Until then, I'll stick to my LG whateverthefuckitisihave phone.

Touche!
Most of the time they are decent. I think the server hosted at Towerstream in Boston is flaky as I have a hard time really getting any decent speeds from them on a consistent basis.

This is more like it.

Maybe we should send him some home grown mushrooms from the garden....nothing like fresh! *

Most likely turned it off during the test then turned it back on.

Because I was connected to wifi when I took the screen shot.

I took that test on saturday when I wasn't at home and connected on 3G.

Re: Slow in NYC

Figured I'd post up some speedtests of my closest 3G networks. Still about 20 miles from mile location but this is what I get in Altoona, PA.

I was really impressed with their speeds but I'm lucky to get 150 down, 100 up in my edge area. I hope they expand there 3G into my area. In the tests downloads peaked at around 2.6Mbit/s.

That is why I passed on the 3GS. I passed not cause of the phone itself. I had a Jailbroke Iphone on Tmo before this. I was already to go to the Deathstar until i tried the GS and the network was slower then molasses. As it is I got a Palm Pre and have been speed happy ever since. As much as I'm gaga about the Pre there are times i'm hankering for my Iphone back.
