Is anyone else's 3G in DC down?

All morning I have been getting Edge from all around the city

Been 2 hours now. Reset phone, turned on/off the network settings, etc....

Just curious
 
I find that 3G rarely works here in the Fairfax/Centreville areas...When its working I get 200-500 kbps down....it is embarrassing...I hate AT&T here. I drop lots of calls; 38% infact. It isn't the phone, because when I am in Pittsburgh, everything is just fine, no dropped calls and 3G speeds of 1400-2100 kbps.

Edit:
On that note, my phone is showing 3G right now
 
Nope, been normal for me all day from Springfield to Bethesda.

(And yes I use the word "normal" instead of "great" on purpose. Point is, I am getting 3G this morning.)

I work on K St and live North of Mt Pleasant and haven't been having any problems.

Lets go Pens!!
 
No problem for me in the downtown DC area around L'Enfant plaza. 3G is always slow though, but that's nothing new.
 
I don't know about the 3G speed there in the area, but I know the 3G coverage area in DC is monstrous. I live in the Shenandoah Valley and had to go to the Apple Store in Alexandria because my iPhone broke. On the way back on 66, I noticed I had 5 bars and 3G almost all the way out to Front Royal. Unreal.
 
Yea, it came back on for me

Was out from 8am-10am at the same desk I am sitting down at every morning

Works just fine now

Weird :eek:
