Denial by a “spokesperson” doesn’t answer the specific technical issues I raised. It’s unfortunate there doesn’t appear to be a way to reach someone within AT&T who actually understands routing and TCP congestion control.

Since writing my article, I have received additional measurement data from individuals that confirms AT&T Wireless has this specific buffer problem elsewhere in their network, but I have received no contact from AT&T technical people.

As I clicked the title of your article in Google Reader on my iPhone, this happened. The worst part is, I was not surprised in the least bit. AT&T's network is the definition of FAIL. P.S. On a monthly basis I call AT&T and get a partial refund because their network sucks. Why are they giving me money back if their network is fine?

Well here’s my experience so far… For the past few weeks I’m lucky if I can send email from my AT&T Blackberry though I have 3-5 bars of EDGE signal showing. This is in locations where I have never had trouble in the past and I’ve had the phone for two years now.
