Re: Oops No for me. Falling back to edge is painful for anything but text emails. Pulling down a 10MB PDF on EDGE is horror.
As an iPhone EDGE, 3G-S and a Laptop Connect customer who travels the US 6-9 times a year both to metro and the sticks, I've had to wax on-wax off, paint the fence and sand the frour quite a few times to get a connection. Here in SoCal I get excellent 3G service, typically 2-2.5Mb down and .768-1.2Mb up but you get out on the open interstates, far away from the cities and you're done, EDGE if you're lucky. Meanwhile my colleges with VZW always seem to have connectivity and 3G service, although always with a horrible handset running an even more abysmal mobile OS.
VZW's network in my experience is far superior in rural areas but being a former VZW customer I found their customer service and billing nightmarish and they don't currently offer a handset I would be willing to take even for free. |
