Is ATT ever, ever going to learn what the word agressive means? Ever?

Maybe ATT needs to become the next Sprint and lose hundreds of thousands of customers per quarter because of they're lack of ambition!!!!

Hey me and my brother left last week, and my wife will be leaving as soon as she sees a phone that she likes. I live in a rural area and I am suprised by how much Vzn is better than att here. I have had Att for over 6 years and I cant believe that I have been missing out on this call reception and data speed all of this time.

The difference is from dial up to broadband. Im not exaggerating.

ATT is pulling a sony with PS3. To ****y and not concerned about losing customers. Before you know it, they will be fighting for a spot. They couldnt even match the price for the TP2. That was the last straw for me. I could not spend 100 dollars more for worse service.

I agree lol

I live in Las Vegas, ATT data speeds are ok here, I've gotten as high as 2.2mbps on my Nokia N95, but that's definetly not average. It'll be interesting to see what kinda shape ATT will be in by the end of next year, that's for sure.

You arn't the only ones leaving. My friend who is now working for Verizon (use to for AT&T) in Mississippi said that they have lots of port overs every day from AT&T mostly. Some are from Cellular South, most from AT&T.

I tried AT&T for about 4 months and I couldn't take their crappy network quality any longer. This was after being with Verizon for a long time. Everybody wants to say how great AT&T is...why? Because they have an iPhone? Who cares?! Cingular (now AT&T) was the first to have the Motorola RAZR and everyone wanted one for the most part, now even the smallest networks carry the RAZR. Give it time and I'm sure Verizon and other carriers will have it as well. I don't care what the media says or what the rumors are, look at past practices. No carrier can keep a flagship phone forever, they eventually have to let the other networks supply it. On Phonearena.com they mentioned the Palm Pre will be available for Verizon in the near future. So...

Verizon usually works better...but I prefer to respect those that choose the other carriers (for whatever reason) than to bash them and stick out my tongue and taunt them. To each his own. We actually need the other carriers to survive to keep Verizon on its toes and more importantly to keep the FCC's regulatory arms from interfering with wireless.

I agree. The competition is healthy for the carriers (and any other company too). If Verizon was the only carrier out there they could make the prices and rules all they want. Any carrier would. Even worse, Obama and the FCC would want to run it and eventually make it their own. 👀 It's harder to take over a company when you have several other companies in the mix.

I still like Verizon but I've always said if it weren't for them I'd be with AT&T in a heartbeat. So I don't think AT&T is a bad company, and I do sorta take back the "crappy network" comment. I admit from being with them that yes they weren't as good as Verizon on network quality, but it wasn't really horrible either. Even their TXT messaging was suprisingly...

Sprint's 3G maxes out at
Rev.A. ATT's 3G maxes out at HSPA+, which they're skipping, but Tmobile is deploying. HSPA+ is capable of 21mbps at the cell site.

Jay, if you really think that these AT&T &/or T-Mobile HSPA improvements are truly going to increase average or peak data throughput to 7.2 Mbps, let alone 21 Mbps, then I have some ocean front property in Arizona -- just down the road from you in Vegas -- that I will sell you for a great price.
