AT&T makes claims for better service
1. In September the New York metro area got a band boost with the deployment of 850 MHz spectrum at 1,600 cell sites. This spectrum is a lower frequency band than the 1900 MHz spectrum previously used, meaning it should travel farther.
Haven’t noticed any affect and any time I walk more than 4 blocks in Brooklyn I drop a call.
2. 68 additional cell sites are scheduled for completion in the New York/New Jersey/Long Island area before the end of 2009, to add to the “thousands” that are currently in place.
Even if thousands is 2000, 68 more sites is only a 3.4% increase. Doesn’t seem like enough.
3. More wireless hotspots are being added around the country in an attempt to pull Wi-Fi enabled users off the 3G network.
Are they taking credit for other wi-fi hotspots???
4. Software upgrades at existing cell cites are paving the way for HSPA 7.2Mbps spectrum overlays in 2010, and LTE (aka 4G) in 2011.
Not soon enough.
