Hank Kafka, vice president of network architecture for AT&T Mobility, confirmed that the company will have its entire 3G network upgraded to HSPA by the end of this year. AT&T rolled out HSDPA throughout 2007 and began adding HSUPA late in 2007. It had 255 markets running HSDPA by the end of 2007 and will have 350 major metropolitan markets covered by HSPA, enabling download speeds of 7.2Mbps, before the start of 2009.

Over hyped
I bet all the At&t fan boys are peeing their pants right now. I also bet that the handsets won't have the ability to use these speeds. Don't get excited early. They also fail to mention the range of these individual towers or whether the speeds were direct view and the distance at which you get these speeds. My guess that it will be a card for laptops. I'd still much rather have everything for $99 including real live Tv. Also a phone and laptop that can use the same highspeed network. So Ill stick with my Wimax and Sprint which is way ahead of At&t and Verizon when it comes to innovation. Tell me how many of you At&t and Verizon fans can check all the gas prices from your phone with just a few clicks then tell you how to get there? Not very ...

Yeah, yeah, I can check gas prices and get directions too. Big deal.
Progress is progress. If AT&T does actually get their entire 3G network upgraded to HSPA 7.2 it will be over twice as fast as Sprint's Rev A. There are already phones coming ou...

how about 3g at my house for starters!
I live in the middle of Mesa and cant get a 3g signal in my house and only intermintent 3g outside. ATTs 3g network is barebones at best in Phoenix/Mesa/Tempe right now, I think its operating on at about 1/2 of thier cell sites. If only nokia made the N95 for Verizon id leave att in a heartbeat. I would rate ATT 4th best in the Valley behing VZ,Sprint,and Alltel for 3g service, only because Tmobile doesnt have 3g yet.
Things are improving slowly, I guess. I've noticed that I now maintain an HSPA connection all the time while in downtown Seattle, while even just a month ago my phone would only hold HSPA while actually using it. (It would revert back to 3G, meaning...

Dang...
I've been pretty loyal to T-Mobile over the past few years. The pricing is awesome, the customer service is awesome, the compatibility with unlocked phones is awesome.
But if AT&T will be fully HSPA by the end of the year, I'm really going to have to consider that. Especially in light of the unlimited minute plans that minimize the differences between all the carriers.

Yeah, but it's not AT&T's whole network though. It's only saying that AT&T will have all of it's 3G areas upgraded to full-HSPA speeds by the end of the year. And that they will be adding some more 3G areas as well. But still, their 3G areas don't eve...

The only map that would depict anything like that would be AT&T's Coverage Viewer on their website. If you just change it to "Show 3G coverage", you can see where they currently have 3G coverage, and that would be more than likely where the at least h...
