AT&T (Deliberately?) Gets No Respect

The phone giant has been whipped mercilessly online and in the media over its IPhone coverage. But it seems not to be a problem with AT&T but with the IPhone itself. Why hasn’t AT&T defended itself by revealing the truth? If your data revenues per subscriber were up 57%, you wouldn’t want to irritate Apple either.

  1. If it’s the device that’s the problem then why is it that only iPhone users on AT&T have issues?

    Also, the AT&T employed contractors in this article claim that AT&T’s network is better because it’s faster, not because it’s more reliable or has a wider coverage area. Throughput isn’t high on the list of consumer complaints but coverage and reliability are.

    And to answer your question, they paid for this NTY article didn’t they?

  2. Is there a reason you find it deeply offensive, Wick, to repeatedly call it an IPhone instead of an iPhone? Was there a capitalization feud I’ve (i’ve?) missed?

  3. It’s the fact that the iPhone user ties up bandwidth because there’s so much to do. AT&T needs to reinvest into more infrastructure. I am probably locked with them, but when Verizon gets it next year it will help those of us on AT&T.

  4. Does D Publishing have a marketing relationship with Apple or AT&T for the iPhone?

  5. @gobblydeygoog: No. But many of the editors who work here use iPhones.
