Comments on: Apple and AT&T Being Sued for Slow 3G Speeds (Again)

I switched from the iphone to the iphone 3GS. At first the browsing was good and fast and I could get to sites no problem. Now after 3 months that has changed. Service has become slower every day and at times it will lag out and at times I can’t even get to the web site I was just at the day before. On top of that I get dropped calls almost daily. I love the iphone for many reasons. But I switched for the touted “3G Speed” and well it has been anything but fast. Apple needs to open up the phone to other carriers and introduce competition, then perhaps AT&T will get off their behinds and fix this apparent issue. But paying for something that is not working as advertised is getting old and is common theme to anyone I talk too who has the phone. The iphone has overloaded the AT&T network. AT&T needs to fix the issue or lower the cost! Iphone=good! AT&T=bad!

I wish my phone just operated as fast as the one on the commerical. The apps alone. The 3g is kinda like a bonus when it works.

I would like to add, that a friend of mine and myself have had both the 1st gen and 2nd gen and Internet speeds used to be suffice. I work in the heart of Midtown NY where I used to get about 756kbps on my 3g and a little slower where I live in Putnam county (but still acceptable, around 300kbps). Recently like about 3 months or so, the speed has decreased significantly to about 60kbps in both areas (my friend also having the same issue). This is totally unacceptable for I switched to ATT from verizon for the faster 3g service. I just got off the phone with a support rep who told me the 3g service has been having problems in that area and will be getting updated on August 1st. I was like well what about my Putnam Count and he could not answer me. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Iphone and cannot give it up, but cmon we are all paying for something and that is an advertised speed (3g). If I wanted edge service I would go back to tmobile. (Just my two cents)

Sorry to tell you guys, but it's not so much AT&T as Apple. I have a moble net card as well as well as an iPhone 3G. The net card is much more reliable than the iPhone. Both in service and reliablity. If you do a download test I usualy get about 1.6 kb per sec. Pretty good right. The problem is you don't get that with net on the iPhone. The iPhone slows that number down. Some say the iPhone has a problem putting the codes in a readable form. So it seems to be some programing flaw on apples part. Something we should not have to put up with for a $400 phone.

PS Don't run out and get the 3GS. Yes it does everything a little better. Also the camera is much better, but in a year the 4G should be out. Plus people seem to be having some issues with new hardware. iPhone 4G will be faster and they should have the hardware issues fixed.

A lot of you sound like idiots…Hes suing because of false advertisement so maybe he did check his coverage map and it FALSELY ADVERTISED it would work. And whether he has 30 days to return it or not for that price it should still do what it says it will. Get your head out of your asses. The mans fighting so we stop getting screwed over by these companies. It shouldnt take a minute to open an sms or type a message because the phone runs as slow as it does… And with 3.0 os the phone is damn near unusable because companies dont release what works, they release what sales. So I hope he wins and the rest of you who thinks he’s wrong can take one up the a**. Thank You

This is stupid. In every iPhone commerical, it states that “3G not available in all areas”……….if you live in a 3G zone, yea it is fast. If you don’t, well….Now what happens if yo have 3G at home, but drive somewhere and don’t?? Do you sue because it is not nation wide?? They (ATT) never claimed that it was nation wide…..

My 3G now compared to SPRINT is OK. My calls drop more than with any other carrier I've had.

Nothing to sue over...some lazy people just like to get something for nothing.
