AT&T: the secret meaning of 3G

September 9th, 2009

(warning – this is a rant)

Once again when I thought it wasn’t possible, AT&T reached yet another nadir in its inability to provide a service to iPhone users.  Now they admit it.

Rather than blog about what laughably AT&T tries to pass as service, I’ve come up with the real secret meaning of AT&T’s 3G.

3G Stands for the 3 Ghosts:

1. the ghost of network speed (let’s just call that glacial)

2. the ghost of network reliability (actually the network reliably drops calls, has multiple dead spots, and uncanny text/voice message delays)

3. the ghost of “we care and we are doing something about it” (let’s call this one gullibility)

I’ve been an AT&T customer since 1996 but I plan to switch to Verizon once the exclusive deal with AT&T is over.
