| I've had AT&T for 12 years now and ever since the advent of 3G, I've never seen speeds as poor as you're getting now. Even with EDGE, I saw better download speeds. AT&T may have oversold their network with the iPhone but Sprint's network was already slower than AT&T's at that point; meanwhile, AT&T has put in a lot of hours and spent a lot of money to improve things, while Sprint has done... what, exactly?
So many people down on AT&T for how they handled the iPhone; While I agree that they could have done better, they never got as bad as Sprint, have always had better coverage than T-Mobile, and drop far fewer calls than Verizon.
Hate them as much as you want, but AT&T manages several insanely-large networks, all of which interconnect at some point, and they do a damned good job of it. Do they have some deficiencies? Before you answer that, ask yourself, which provider doesn't?
That said, there is no way in hell I would ever consider AT&T Wireless for a primary data connection, I blow through their highest monthly cap in 2 days. I'm not trying to convince anyone here to switch to AT&T, it would be unworkable for the vast majority of you; but can we stop with the AT&T hate? There is no basis for it. |

I have an AT&T tower 1/2 mile from me.
That said, I dropped them when they first introduced the iPhone and my speed dropped to dial-up.
I would have gone back to them but they instituted a 5gig Hard Cap and would not even discuss my needs....at any price.....
I need 13gigs per month.
They absolutely refused to negotiate a higher limit.
Buy the way it's wonderfull that you have other choices for a "primary" connection.
Unfortunately.....due to the nature of the Monopolies in my area....Comcast and Verizon are the only companies that provide a Hardline internet service....and they refuse (Comcast) or don't supply the service(Verizon) to my home. Even though Comcast ends it's run 1/2 from my location. |

He hasn't addressed anything he posts opinions As he mistakenly views it. May or may not be anything close to factual. I've debunked the "summer leaves" theory. He needs to accept his tower is loaded down and his equipment has a role in his low speeds. |

1 edit | So? You know how to Google. I'm confident anyone else interested could do the same with no trouble.
Methinks with all the problems you've had you would just "move on" from Sprint. It's not going to get better apparently and all your posts here on your low speeds sure won't do anything to increase them.
Have you checked with others near you using the tower to see if they are having issues? Could be you may be the only one. How many others have you seen posting problems like yours consistently? Sure things happen but usually are resolved by Sprint or the user or both. |
