AT&T Wireless Defrauding Consumers with 3G & Dependable Service

AT&T has been hiding the fact for almost a year they have issues involving their 3G service throughout the United States. Here in Austin, TX AT&T couldn't provide adequate service during the South by Southwest Concert so concert goers were without service majority of the time, and AT&T still to date is unable to provide reliable 3G Services to consumers which are paying for this service.

I think the point is that this problem is very widespread. AT&T's 3G network is overloaded with i-Phones in my opinion which is causing an absolute nightmare. This is more than a 30 day trial period issue. I don't have a problem with network issues except when you claim yours is the best...

You hit the nail on the head! There is no such thing as the best. Why does AT&T insist on calling themselves the best, fastest, fewest dropped calls when they know it's a lie?

ATnT Nokia, I think it's the Jewish lawyers who aren't hungry. Maybe I'm about to make a wrong statement, but the Jewish lawyers and accountants (stereotypes I know) work harder for it than those of us who aren't.
