Friday, May 30, 2008 -- 12:06 p.m. -- on my couch
Interesting report over at boygeniusreport.com about increases to AT&T's 3G speeds and rolling outages that appear to be linked to the upgrades (down for a while and then boom! Speedy!!)
AT&T didn't have anything amiss to report yesterday when I contacted them on your behalf regarding EDGE being down in select parts of the country. And while boygeniusreport is talking about 3G and I'm talking about EDGE, I can't help but wonder if they aren't linked.
I don't expect AT&T to divulge everything, so I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that the two events are potentially somehow related -- you know, like 3rd cousins twice removed? Yeah, that kind of relation.
The major point of EDGE outages yesterday, though, were in New York City proper. So this report at boygenius being all about Manhattan and vicinity lends some strength to what I just said.
Of course, AT&T would probably say that it is always updating its network to update and improve service. No doubt. It certainly can't say that they are getting 3G ready for Steve's big launch on June 9.
Although I'd love it if it did!
Thanks for calling.

Wow! I can't believe all the posts just since yesterday!! Hey-have a good vacation! Hope you have good weather for it.
I wonder if they're upgrading around me. I have good EDGE coverage where I live, but quite often lately have been getting GPRS symbol. I called ATT but the girl couldn't tell me if they were working around here or not. :(
Great links BTW.
Enjoy.
SCOTT'S REPLY: Thanks much, Eleanor. I just wanted to make sure everyone was up to date before I left and I haven't been posting as much as I like this week with me being busy here at the office.
Yeah, I expect there's some stuff now that can't be said in regards to final prep. I don't know that for a fact, but it seems logical.
Today, I got 2 reports from just north of New York City, where the boygenius report said 3G updates were happening and EDGE was down there. It's all connected.
