NYC no 3G for me. It has been a couple of days now. I went to Philadelphia and back today. It worked wonderfully there. But, as soon as I returned to NYC… Kaput! “No Service”. As soon as I turn off 3G, all my bars return. Why am I paying so much for my service to be stuck with the Edge network. I waited for the 3G to have 3G!

An announcement from AT&T would be nice. Instead we have to try to get through to support and get a vague explanation. We pay enough to be informed. It is not like we are on some discount plan. We deserve that level of responsibility from AT&T!

I am in Atlanta and I have been having trouble with 3G speed. It has been as slow as edge, spotty or non existent.

over the last 3 days I have been on the phone with ATT for 4 hours trying to fix this problem. They told me that its because of the hurricane which I dont understand. I am in bloomington indiana which is easily 600 miles away from the hurricane. They also told me that it is a class 1 problem which means it should be fixed. but who knows. And its not only iphones, blackberries and all ATT phones where I am are all having the same nonsense problem.

Extreme compensation needed? I think so. Free iPhone 2 for all!!!

my iPhone 3g seems unable to connect to the Internet thru 3g or edge from 10am to 5pm. So yea this is definately a problem. This is Brooklyn heights btw. Where apple does their gps section of their commercial!

Yes, the internet was uncharted territories in mobile space until the iPhone came and saved the day. I wonder what that was I was surfing on with my original XDA back in 2002?

I don’t see how this is Apple’s problem. If AT&T’s network is down, then it’s not just iPhone users that are having trouble. It’s just that iPhone users actually have a usable browser so they’ll actually NOTICE the network outage.

Ryan, then return the POS as you say. You have a month to make a change, if you don’t then your dumber than the phone.

I had no issues during the day, EDGE never went out for me.

Also, someone please educate people on how 3G towers get overloaded and what they do when they have no more bandwidth…

For the past 2 weeks the phone has truly been a POS, can not make / recieve calls and when I can it’s at the phones convience. Drops calls as well as data in a snap. Nice to know the phone wasn’t on my side for the evacuation here in Louisiana.

Myself and a co-worker have been having hte same problem, not able to get data at all through 3G or Edge… What is going on!? Saturation?

I’m really puzzled – I though data is data. Unlike Blackberrys which rely on RIM’s data centre to direct traffic.

Can someone shed some light on why this outage would affect iPhone only, but not other smartphones?

I saw ticket #TT000008097189, which was resolved as of 11:56 AM EDT. Official start time was 4:00 AM EDT and the description is just “Some customers may experience gaps in coverage or difficulty connecting to the UMTS/EDGE network.” for the Northeastern Market.

I’m in Buffalo, NY and woke up and my phone had the dreaded “No Service” on the upper left. Turned it on and off thinking it was maybe a glitch and still nothing. I was in my dorm which usually has nearly full bars on 3G. I was getting soooo pissed i had to put my SIM card in a shitty old phone. Tried it out just now and it’s still running slower, but i at least have service to text and make phone calls. Anyone else really annoyed by these constant problems?

It’s AT&T. Even my wife’s blackberry is having connection issues today.
