| Backhaul vs. Spectrum What most people don't realize is not only are they not properly upgrading their backhaul to support HSPA 7.2 but they've also maxed out their spectrum in many markets. The result being that no matter what they do on the tower or backhaul side their isn't enough room in the channels they own within the spectrum frequencies to support as many users as they have signed up.
Consequently ATT has gone out recently and purchased additional spectrum to help fill in the gaps... which hopefully will help the users.
Basically - iPhone demand completely overwhelmed ATT and not only were they not prepared it looks like they've been slow to stay on top of things as more and more users sign on. Apple really needs to start selling the handset on all carriers here in the U.S. |

Apple really needs to start selling the handset on all carriers here in the U.S. I agree with this....working in the call center I hav eseen it over the years.
When the first iPhone came out things were pretty normal....as the 3G came out, more calls about service and quality issues, and they have increased as the 3Gs sold more and more
The iPhone was an unexpected strain I think. Let it go to Verizon or TMobile and I suspect the same problems will occur over time. |
