[...] I wasn’t really surprised: I spend a lot of time in the South of Market neighborhood of San Francisco, and for the most part, my AT&T iPhone is an outdoor phone there. Indoors, it’s an utter crapshoot whether I’ll be able to make and take calls. I’ve lived with the situation for a year and a half, but I’m growing weary, and I have no idea when or if the situation will improve. (We know that AT&T Mobility President Ralph De La Vegas is not a reliable source of information on what to expect.) [...]

@Thomas, Actually the rep at the AT&T store and over the phone told me a two year contract is the only option. You may have heard differently, but this is just what they told me when I tried to go in and get service.

@vamuso- No you don’t have to sign a two-year contract, you just pay full price. Why does everyone only think of the two-year contract price? Come on people, use your brain!

Isn’t the issue obvious?

The AT&T network is being CRUSHED by users trying to use the 3G network on their iPhones. The service simply sucks!

Even a lying and cheating company such as AT&T won’t take the next steps to destroy their already horrid reputation by adding more demand to the anemic 3G network.

Don’t hold your breath for tethering. Instead, start calling AT&T and ask why you should be paying full price for 3G phone service where a 20% dropped call rate is “within spec”. What a joke!

Getting old means I can remember when AT&T was a first class company. Now, if it made major improvements, it would become a fifth rate company. Third World countries have better phone service

Nice post!. I think your closing point says it all. So many people including myself have been begging for tethering, that if/when released the network would become so saturated frustration would go through the roof. This may be one of those instances where we should be careful for what we wish for. Down here in Tampa, service is not so bad, however I have read that up in Chicago it’s hard to make it through a call without getting dropped. The worst part is, if we wanted to get an Air Card from AT&T, not only do we have to pay $60 a month, plus buy the hardware, we have to sign a two year contract. The should have a special contingency for those who have iPhones, that if/when tethering ever comes out we could convert to the “iPhone Tethering Plan.”
