Default AT&T network Boost

Did anyone notice how much faster AT&T 3G was ?

Usually get 3-400kbps and yesterday I got 750kbps. Today it's back down to 3-400 Kbps

I'm in new York by the way , about 14 miles from NYC and I always have had full 3G service.

Did you notice the boost in your area ?

No. That isn't to say they aren't out there. I still remember my shock when I was at Barnes and Noble in Knoxville, TN. I ran a speed test, and was pulling over a mbps. Simply shocked.

I still see the same building penetration issues, and the same dead spots where one moment I will be streaming music before I get to stop light, and the next, the app crashed because the network disappeared across the street.

I have gotten over 1Mbps before but only once. I think I was on a train.

I've been noticing a lot of dead spots as well. I thought it was phone at first because it was already not working right ( the touch screen wasn't working ).

I'm really starting to realize how bad AT&T is now. Customer service is great but I don't think my phone should have a disappearing 3G icon that often.

AT&T also claim to have the fastest 3G and 400 kbps is not fast.
