Just saw this over on Consumerist…<\/p>\n
“Following up on yesterday’s news that Apple is preparing to start production on Verizon-compatible iPhones, the Wall Street Journal now says that AT&T has been working since December to improve their existing networks to remain competitive when the inevitable battle for iPhone market share begins.”<\/p>\n
Oh, now<\/strong><\/em> AT&T wants to improve their network now that a company with a superior network is coming along to take their customers!<\/p>\n Dear AT&T: It’s too late chumps. Far too late. For years I’ve had nothing but miserable service from since I purchased my iPhone. Constantly dropped calls. Calls that will not go through even after 4 or 5 tries. Suddenly getting a “7 missed calls” notice on my iPhone when it hasn’t rung all day. Having less than 1 bar 90% of the time. Phone conversations so distorted it sounds like I’m talking to an electronic robot and not another human being.<\/p>\n I can honestly say in the 12 years that I’ve had cell phones, AT&Ts service has been the absolute worst. The pinnacle of rotten, slipshod, and pathetic efforts that only a doddering company far past its’ time would have the nerve to pass off and sell. The fact that you launched a “100-day plan in late 2009” and are only now<\/strong> getting your pathetic tech up to date proves you really don’t give a damn about your customers.<\/p>\n You are the proud owners of the technical equivalent of a pitted gravel farm road, and are only now dimly aware of the concrete overpass about to take your livelihood away.<\/p>\n For the record, as of today, I’ve successfully kept 14 people off AT&T’s cellular service. That’s not a lot of people, but it’s 14 customers who now have a chance with a real wireless phone company.<\/p>\n I hope the Verizon story is true this time.<\/p>\n Here’s the story on Consumerist<\/a> and on the Wall Street Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Just saw this over on Consumerist… “Following up on yesterday’s news that Apple is preparing to start production on Verizon-compatible iPhones, the Wall Street Journal now says that AT&T has been working since December to improve their existing networks to … Continue reading
