I just got a text saying ATT has improved coverage, stability, and speed in greater atlanta, athens, and north Atlanta. for the 3G network :)
Woot does this mean the 7.2 MBPS networks? Has anyone else got this text message? I'm so excited.

Dang I want this is Phoenix.
 
no instead in jersey apparently 3g is slow or down since i have to use edge to make phone calls with my g/f. :confused:
 
I got it also. I have had 3g at my home now for a few weeks. Before it was a weak edge signal.
 
And my reply.

I believe this is related to the rollout of their 850MHz 3G network in the greater Atlanta area. Same speed, different frequency.
 
I'm in Atlanta and I didn't get this message :(

I get great signal though. It used to switch to Edge once I got home. NOW I don't even turn on my wireless connection anymore
 
UGH! All they are doing it making Edge slower for us non-3G people. 3G isn't in enough places for them to be doing that...damn u ATT
 
wow they tell you when they upgrade? I just woke up from a nap one day (literally) and saw I had full 3G service. I up until recently I only had full EDGE available at my house but it was dwindling here and there and then about a week later I had 3G finally. Didn't get a text message though, but I regularly get 1.5-1.9 Mbps though so I'm not complaining haha. It's sometimes faster than my cable internet because their networks are so congested here (charter.)
 
I just researched it and yeah, it's 850 MHz networks. It's to improve coverage and reception. Yay...Also sprint deplyed it's 4G network in Atlanta. Atlanta must be a very important city to deploy networks in :p.
