Re: Get used to it. I believe that AT&T was truly caught off guard by the iPhone. I have no doubt that any other provider would have seen similar impact to its network as well, so I don't believe it's total shortsightedness by AT&T. And yes, catching up is often more difficult than keeping up. |

Like 3 years ago when it came out. This really is a lame excuse now. They already had significant, widespread congestion problems BEFORE the IPhone even came out. They simply didn't spend enough on upgrades even before it came out, skimped for years after it came out, and now are playing catchup for years of underinvestment. |

And you know this how? ... by personal trivial experience? ...by stuff you read from people online or here? ... or have you actually looked at actual hard core system data?
I think it's time for people to start answering that question for once instead of sitting back which trivial gripes acting like they are some-how in the know. |
