Re: Can't Wait!Ugh... I wouldn't mind it so much if they allowed VoIP or cheaper tethering. Also, there's a lot of areas w/o 3G they have to cover. | |

Re: Can't Wait!VOIP over EDGE doesn't work very well. The latency is too high and the bit rate is not guaranteed. Maybe 3G will be better. | |

Re: Can't Wait!VOIP over edge works great on the iPhone - not sure what you were trying, but yeah, just like at home over DSL/Cable, every once in a while it has issues (anything will over IP) - but it works good enough to have an understandable conversation just fine. | |

Re: Some coverage maps showing 3G areasThis map shows a nice national overview, but the AT&T maps allow you to zoom in to street level. | |

awesome awesome awesome map!
The ATT interactive map doesn't show 3G when zoomed out, only at city level. I think it was done that way to be a deterrent to not see the lack of 3G national wide, or see how little markets have it. | |

Major cities usually have 3g, if in a small city don't count on it. unless your close to a big city | |

Just select the button 1 up from the bottom.

Re: Some coverage maps showing 3G areasAlso the map is wrong for my area. Shows my area having 3G as of 3/8/08 and it doesn't. | |

Real Speeds??They advertise 500-800K upstream, but what kind of speeds are people really seeing? | |

AT&T 3G Just lit up in my areaTo my surprise last week I notice my Cingular 8525 PDA lit up with the 3G icon. This is great, and I wonder if I'll get the new upload speeds right away? We used to just have an EDGE network here, but it's nice to see I can finally make use of 3G at home. | |

Speed Boost?Ouch, these speeds are barely faster than EVDO Rev 0, and not even close to EVDO Rev A (or B and C for that matter) | |

Re: Speed Boost?BTW, is AT&T also upgrading those ancient T1 lines to the towers to match those revolutionary new speeds? No point having a 1.4 Mbps downlink if the tower itself is only 1 T1 line, with multiple users maxing it out. | |

Re: Speed Boost?They dont just run a single line to the tower, its always run with multiple circuits otherwise it just wouldnt be cost effective. | |

"HSUPA boosts the upstream capability of their 3G wireless network to between 500kbps and 800kbps (it offers up to 1.4Mbps downstream)."
1.4Mbps downstream is between the speeds of Rev 0 (~700kbps down) and Rev A (3.1mbps down) EVDO, not even touching EVDO Rev B speeds yet | |
|
|
finallyAtt is very slowly upgrading 3g. i just got 3g and i live an hour from nyc on long island. | |
|
|
Down isn't much fasterI can sometimes get around 850 down, but it's usually around 400. The 8525 is such a slow device that it doesn't really matter anyway. | |
