iPhone 3G Speeds: More Cingular Mediocrity

I should say most of the places I have been don't carry 3G consistently. I live in Plano, TX...My 3G is spotty at best...but I travel a lot and have found little better elsewhere. ATT 3G network just isn't very good.

iPhone 3G Speeds: More Cingular Mediocrity

I agree that the iPhone 3G downloads aren't much better then standard EDGE...To the point that I have turned OFF the 3G capability to benefit from the much improved battery life and consistent connectivity.
In the long run the 3G being turned off gives better performance since most of the places I have gone don't even carry 3G and this latency of trying to connect and then falling back to EDGE or providing sportty 3G is much worse then using EDGE alone.

Still love the phone without 3G...just wish ATT would get their act together.
