At&t 4G LTE

I have a question regarding att 4g. When att comes out with 4g lte will the current 4g phones running on Hsp i.e. infuse, atrix work with the transition to LTE.

Nope. The 4G phones now are only HSPA+. You can bet your last dollar that when they are LTE, they will have "LTE" plastered all over them in big orange and blue letters.

Whatever you say doesn't change the truth. ATT lags behind every other carrier, even Tmo who has real HSPA+ deployed.
What YOU call "trolling" I call the truth. Do you work for ATT? Is that why you can't except the truth? Personally I don't let employment with a company cause me to be biased. ATT just isn't a move forward kind of company. That's a fact. T-Mobile is the one that has kept moving forward the past 18 months.

Jay, it's trolling because it's off topic. Nobody cares what you think about AT&T, bud. If you want to trash talk at&t, maybe you should start your own thread and list all the reasons you think they suck, instead of posting pointless crap in other threads, where people are actually looking for legitimate info.

How is it off topic? The OP is about ATT & LTE, which in the 7th month of 2011 remains nothing but a myth - fact.

According to the headlinevof the OP I am on topic.

Personally I think it's pathetic how emotional you get over something just because you recieve a paycheck from ATT. It's a job, a means to pay bills that's it!

Easy, pickles. Jay doesn't really understand how forums work but he's really enthusiastic about them. Jay just parrots whatever he hears from other users and they usually only are relevant to about five different points.

Here are the five if you're interested

1. If you work for a wireless carrier you are an ignorant fanboi who's opinions are fallacious and not to be trusted
2. Real buttons are better than capacitive buttons
3. Motorola is sh!t
4. He likes the LG Ally, especially since it got the 2.1 upgrade so you can store apps on the SD card instead of phone memory
5. He doesn't care or take into account the normal cellphone user. He uses tons of data and because he uses tons of data, consumers that don't use tons of dat...

I work for AT&T and get updates on this stuff quite regularly. As of NOW, they already have the infrastructure in place for those 5 cities. This summer they are going to flip that awesome switch to turn on LTE. By the end of this year, they are going to have extended LTE to 70 million of its subscribers.

AT&T Announces First Long Term Evolution (LTE) Markets to Launch Summer 2011


"We are on track to begin our Long Term Evolution (LTE) launch efforts this summer, with a rollout planned for five markets: Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Antonio. We also plan to add another 10 or more LTE markets by the end of the year."

They have tested the LTE in these areas for speed quality and reliability, which is prrof that it is already in place.

So whats your proof?

Do you think they can install that eqiupment over night and then turn it on? No, its installed and tested ALOT before its initialized.

I'm not getting emotional over a wireless carrier, I'm annoyed that you deem it necessary to take every opportunity to bash AT&T. You're just as biased as the so-called at&t fanboys, jay. A user asked a simple question, they didn't ask for good ole' JayShmay to come on in and troll around.

The reason I bash ATT is because they have the same exact financial means as Verizon does. . .MINUS THE AMBITION. Both ATT & Verizon have 90+ million customers, both have lots, and lots in revenue and profits, but only one has enough forward ambition to launch an LTE network that is capable of putting out real-world speeds of 15, 20, 25, and even sometimes 30+ mbps. I like companies that are forward moving, not stagnant.

You completed trolled this thread, period.

Oh, you need to know the definition of a Myth before you start throwing around the term. Makes you look extremely ignorant.

Definition #3: imaginary existence

http://i.word.com/idictionary/Myth »

LTE is an imaginary existence on ATTs network. Nothing commercially available.

If ATT had ambition they'd spend their billions in revenue doing what T-Mo is, which is bringing 3G to it's FULL potential. Which is deploying HSPA+ 42 to 170 million Americans. 200 million by yrs end.

To the CONSUMER it doesn't exist!!! There are no usb modems, no smartphones.

The point is a company 1/3 the size of ATT has a network that is at least 3x faster than ATT.
...
KeyBored

Jul 13, 2011, 7:39 PM
So the point is T-Mobile (who they're about to buy, sounds pretty ambitious to me) has a faster 3g network? How is that relevant to at&ts LTE network which probably exists but isn't commercially available.

You don't make much sense man. I think you're just spitting out blind hate towards at&t.

Jayshmay

Jul 13, 2011, 7:45 PM
How bout this instead of just hating on ATT, I hate ALL companies that are stagnant and don't move forward. 3G technology provides are very, very long upgrade path, even beyond HSPA+ 42. And yet ATT struggles to even deploy HSPA 21.

Why would ATT wast money on 3g upgrades when they're trying to push 4G out?
...
Jayshmay

Jul 13, 2011, 8:03 PM
I'm not a CTO. Just a consumer who likes speed, speed, speed. And if ATT had the ambition to follow the 3G upgrade path, I could have had 8, 10, 12mbps if ATT deployed HSPA+ 42 2-3yrs ago. So ATT gave up on the 3G upgrade path, HSPA 14, 21, 42, in 2008-2010, when they were raking in $$$$ from Iphone sales.

So ATT gave up on the 3G upgrade path that I could gave enjoyed 2-3yrs ago, so I gave up on ATT.

And NOW I am enjoying 10, 15, and sometimes 20, 25, and on ocasion 30+ mbps with Verizon LTE.

Jayshmay

Jul 13, 2011, 8:16 PM
Yep. Every time I saw a headline on Phone Scoop or Engadget talking about what 3G is capable of, and here we are in July of 2011 and ATT barely has HSPA 21 deployed, including the backhaul.
And Tmo is advertising speeds on a 3G network that are similar to what Vzn's LTE network is putting out.

Did you ever stop to think that instead of working on their own network it would be easier for someone else to build a better network and then buy it?

Jayshmay

Jul 13, 2011, 8:31 PM
They have the revenue to duild out HSPA+ 21, 42, AND BEYOND without eliminating a competitor from the market.

Check out this link, hopefully this will show you how lazzzzy and unambitious ATT is. 3G has quite an upgrade path.

"Interestingly, network speeds were the most important factor to only 4% of respondents, which may be surprising given the attention that some cell phone network providers have given to that feature in advertising campaigns," the report added.

Admittedly I have a love/hate relationship with ATT. But I think they've got time on their side to roll out 4G. As the quote from a survey done in June says, currently most people don't care about network speed...yet.
And perhaps they're actually learning from those who have already rolled out a "4G" network as not to make the same mistakes. Doubt it though, it is ATT after all. 👀
