I am weary of AT&T's recent marketing barrage that boasts of impressive download speeds.
Seriously. When was the last time you heard anyone complain about downloads taking too long on AT&T? Even the above referenced study defines 'reliability' as 'the likelihood that a user can connect to the Internet at a reasonable speed.'
Like I give a crap.
AT&T's plain and simple problem is call reliability. Not download speeds. Not the ability to make or sustain a broadband connection.
It's there miserably voice service that has me contemplating to leave my beloved iPhone behind and run to pick up a Palm Pre on Verizon. For the record, I think the Palm Pre is an inferior phone. But I'd like to be able to make phone calls with some confidence that they will be completed.
