Re: Is AT&T even trying anymore? said by IPPlanMan:Hey AT&T! Are you actually doing anything over there?
This is just pathetic. Verizon launches nearly as many LTE Markets as AT&T has in single day.
Verizon now has 7x the 4GLTE coverage of AT&T.... and not a peep to be heard from AT&T's press shills....
AT&T doesn't need LTE as badly as Verizon does.
My faux-G on AT&T regularly hits 5-6mbps on my iPhone. It's fine for most purposes. On my Verizon iPad, however, I'm lucky to break 160kbps, even when I have a strong 3G signal. Verizon LTE can't get here fast enough.

kudos:2 | Exactly, AT&T LTE here is DOG slow. AT&T 3G is just as fast. Most of time I don't bother with AT&T's LTE and use my Clear WiMAX puck. |

| yeah, 5-6mb on att 3g is "slow", but "fast" on clear wimax  |

| I routinely see 8-10 Mb on Clear's WiMAX...at least here. But looking at the Clear forums, lots of people complain about flakey speeds. And it's unlimited use, no caps or throttling for $50/mo...at least until they go bankrupt.
I use it to Slingbox at the gym and it works great. No worries about any caps and it's snappy enough to stream near HD quality. |

This argument is old and tired. At&t only has 'fast' 3g in urban and surburban areas. Go out of the city and all you get is edge crap.
At&t needs lte upgrades just as much as verizon.. |
|
| Dubuque seems to you urban/suburban area? Its a small town in the middle of nowhere in Iowa, even verizon ignores it. Att at least has fast 3g there since March 2011. |

your ATT LTE is slow there? My LTE iPad 3 gets 15-20 mb down no matter when I do a speed test during the day and it usually gets 10-15 mb up as well. |

And the IBM gdf site? Which they probably paid AT&T to do.
Try looking on atts official coverage map for all the areas not covered by 3G... |

AT&T couldn't do that even if you provided them a manual on how to do it for free...

T-Mobile has worse 3G coverage, only definitely around large metropolitan areas as you said.
I doubt ibm paid att to upgrade cellular towers, even though they are partners. Looking at att IP global network map, they have service node there, so that may be a factor there. |
