What do you think about at&t?

I've read a lot of post about at&t being a terrible network and blah blah blah. I want your opinion on it. I've been with at&t for a long time. I've been with them when was 'Cingular'. Now I've noticed since the atrix and inspire have came out, my network has been very inconsistent. Are you noticing this too? And is it enough to make you switch?

I'm generally happy with speeds and service. Minus the major spots (JFK, LAX, any sporting event) i've never had issues.

I too have been with them since cingular. I have noticed no change. Its the same service I had with my iphone. /Shrug
Ppl were complaining when I had that too But as far as Data was concerned it always worked. i could Stream movies or Sirius any time all day/night.
Still do/can. I don't use the phone part of my cell phones tho so I may have a skewed opinion. I think I currently have 4000+ Roll Over minutes

Ya if I paid for my bill id switch ATT sucks ass ill be on Verizon when my dad makes me start paying
ATT is a bunch of crooks I don't know why my dad puts up with it always some extra charges on there and they never take it off my dad had to call 3 times to get the 9.99 for ATT navigator off my line I kept telling my dad my phone doesn't even have that stupid app cuz I deleted all the bloatware
My girlfriend also works for a ATT call center and they teach them to slam and cram peoples accounts because they think no one will notice the goverment should of never let them buy out t mobile.
ATT got ride of there unlimited plan luckily im grandfathered in
But they put a cap on t mobile unlimited plan after they bought it I think its 5gb then u just get super slow speeds after that
There a giant corperation and there hungry for nickels and dimes
I suggest everyone who pUsh there ATT bill to take a close look at it
Oh one more thing there home dsl internet has a cap on it also 150 gb a month most people won't hit that ya bit if you have netflix streaming you'll hit it every month in my opinion alkida needs to pit there focus on blowing ATT up and not towers

Wow that was so hard to read I think My brain vomited.
ATT has not been approved to buy T-Mobile yet.....Altho they will most likely get it.
Alkida? My God what the hell......

ATT is very dirty you should hear half the stories my girlfriend tells me when she gets home
One person had 600$ in long distance charges all because they didn't have a 5$ a month plan
And the worst part is the lady didn't make any of the calls someone tapped into her line and wracked all that up here's another one
Customer calls and complains that he's being charged overages inhospitable cell phone bill for data when he presumed he had unlimited turns out some store employee changed his account to the 4gb plan when he came into the store to add a line. Theres a period ROFL bahahaha
Sorry but any company that puts a limit in the internet is f'd up in my book whether or not its cell phone or home phone its just flat out ridiculous PERIOD
And for anyone with ATT home service I bet you got a lil 5$ a month service line protection plan on your bill and I bet if you ask to remove it'll still be there or it will be back in a matter of time.
They teach their (yes I do know the difference ) employees to slam and cram all kinds of Crap service plan just one of many little extra charges you will catch on your bill

Thanks for all the replys guys but i won't be switching anytime soon because in my area (southern California) I have good signal and decent speeds. Sprint doesnt have good signal(in my area), Verizon is too expensive for me and t mobile isnt in the picture. When at&t and t mobile merge fully, we will be the national largest 4G network so why switch now?

I really haven't had any problems out of them. Of course, I'm not the one paying the bill either. Lol. If I have a problem my mother-in-law can get it corrected with no questions asked. If I was using mobile data more than WiFi, my speeds wouldn't be that drastically different. D/l speeds are around 3.5 mbps, both mobile and WiFi. U/l speeds are 1.5 mbps on mobile, and .3 mbps on WiFi. I had iWireless prior to being added to the account, which runs on the Sprint network, and out here in T county TN, Sprint's service is terrible. With ATT, I actually get service at places that Sprint doesn't cover. My opinion is, after researching plan options from ATT and Verizon, that with the new data plans, Verizon is the most money hungry carrier of em all. 100 dollars for 5gbs per month? At least ATT you get 2gbs for only 30 dollars. With the options we currently have with ATT, if we got the same thing with Verizon, we would be charged over 300 dollars a month.

There has been no big change. Been with AT&T since 2000>>Cingular>>AT&T. If anything this backhaul thing is an improvement in my area. I get good customer service, albeit with Enterprise Customer Care...and yes they still try to cram stuff I don't need at me. I think most sales peeps are like that. I just take it upon myself to withstand the onslaught. There have been times I have found stuff on my bill that I didn't want / believe I asked for. Just call them up, and they have retro'd my bill every time with usually no fuss, and usually an apology. I can be down with that. Due diligence and direct/firm/clear and not a-holish communication goes a long ways in my experience...

Yeah, $30 is how much they charge us for the 2gb plan around here, which is around the Memphis area. I've just got the $15 200mb data plan as I only use data on WiFi exclusively. You have the "true" unlimited that ATT used to have. Users who had the plan back in their iPhone days, prior to upgrading to the Inspire, won't see their unlimited data capped. I think they feel it would be bad business to cap the data of former and current iPhone users with the old unlimited data plan. Good thing you got it when they still offered it.

Anyone in baltimore with a htc sensation

Hey i currently have an evo 3d with sprint but am seriously considering leaving sprint. Sprint just informed everyone of a minor change in there contracts which is allowing everyone to leave with no ETF. But thats not why i wanna leave. Sprints 4g service is horrible and ive been dropping calls left and right. If you live in baltimore how is your service? Do you get good 4g coverage not just outside but inside buildings also?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

Sprint is a joke and a crappy provider. I was with them 8months. Never again. I had them before that for 2 years and thought they had changed their ways but to my surprise it still remains crap!

Only good thing about them is if you call sprint threatening to leave they offer you an upgrade lol. But the 4g is a joke and im fed up. So far is the ballistic sg the toughest case available for the sensation? Has anyone played with a sidekick bc if we leave sprint i think my girl is gonna get that one
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

I'm Baltimore. Maryland that is, not Ohio and my service is pretty good. I'm on wifi most of the time but I've never been outside with less than 3 bars of 4G. Inside of my house is a different story as I have around two bars most of the time. If I switch to edge instead of 4G I can get full bars. I'd say it is definitely pretty good in my area.

Thanks for the heads up, I got my Mom out of her contract without an ETF, now she's on an unlimited family plan with me. I got her a Sensation today.

She was under contract and they had a change in their terms of service, I called and said I was her (with her permission), told them I don't agree with the change and want to opt out. I also said I won't pay an ETF because of their change in policy, I was put on hold and when the rep came back she said that I was correct, no ETF, offered an unlimited plan for 2 lines $129 + taxes, I said no thank you. She then said I could go to my new carrier, give them my acct. # and have them do the cancellation and keep my number.
If they try to bill her an ETF I will call and say no, you changed your terms and I opted out, done deal.

Verizon's double Data promotion, the time is now..

I got sick and tire of getting throttle 2 week's into my billing cycle for the pass 3 month. Does at&t actually think they could with out pissing people off. At 2gb is extremely low and is the reason why I sold my skyrocket and left to Verizon. Anyways I pick up the 10gb for $50 that's more than enough for me. Is a extra $20 well worth it.
Verizon's Data plan
10gb=$50
4gb=$30

5gb=$50

I just left sprint. Sure they are unlimited, but good luck using 1gb a month on 3g. Their 4g is the same spoed as att 3g, where you can get it. If you're in a moving car or inside a building you won't have WiMax.

Yeah...sprint blows ...verizon is expensive as hell (family plan vs family plan)
I could cave in and get the 5gb plan and still spend less than on verizon.....

Depends what plan you get. At&t gives you a chance to go less on plans options, like less text for cheaper. But if you like me who needs unlimited text and so on Verizon monthly bill will cost the same. At&t data plans are unattractive right now, it's the reason why I left plus the throttling issue.

6 lines, 5 of which are phones, 1 pc ... when compared to swapping over to verizon, feature for feature, it would be almost $200 more
no matter how I look at it, the cheapest route would be to just change my data plan. I am the only one out of the 5 that uses 5+ Gb of data, though my wife is catching up
regardless...I finally found a radio/rom combo that allows the APN trick to work for me...so I am getting HSPA+ speeds now even though throttled

Why do people always say that? It's not true. Verizon's prices are almost identical to AT&T's.
Sure the amount of data might be different on the data plans by a little bit, and the only thing AT&T has that Verizon doesn't is free mobile to mobile talking which is included with the unlimited texts.
I work for AT&T and have a Verizon phone for personal use. When customers come in to switch from Verizon to AT&T cause they say Verizon is way more expensive makes me laugh cause I know they are idiots that can't add.

current plans, oranges to oranges you are correct...
however...those of us that have been with att for a while are paying lower prices...so I guess we are not really making a fair comparison considering that.

When I priced it out VZW was slightly more expensive (a month or two ago) for my two lines. Not enough to warrant the change, but after factoring in the unlimited mobile to mobile and far faster 3g, att was a no brainier. Of course when I was looking to switch carriers (sprint kicked me off, lol) vzw wasn't offering the double data..bastards! The phone was also a consideration for me, I really wanted the Nexus, but just couldn't do it even though I love the speed of the camera.

Thank the iPhone 5 for our Bad/Spoty Data

Just a little insight from a VZW "Person"
Our Spotty 4G seems to be in a direct correlation with the iPhone/idont 5 coming out.
Ever since the first couple days after the launch of the iPhone 5 we've all experienced data drops, spotty 4G and sometimes almost an unbelievably long time stuck in 3G.
I have a GS3 and fortunately a folder with a bunch of different "modems/radios" however, until I found what "modem" (as they call it for the sammys) worked best, I was just like you Tbolt peeps. Angry as all hell that the iPhone came out with LTE and causing these issues. Especially when half or more of the people that got it, don't even know what real 4G is and they're raining on our parade!
I get to listen to it every day now from my GF. Her Tbolt that I hooked up and gave her was effing amazing three weeks ago. Now... it just drops and hangs data way more than my GS3.
That's why I got on XDA tonight. To see if there were any new radios (as us HTC people call em) out and about. No luck thus far, but I wanted to share some knowledge with the community as to the cause of all this mess. Thanks a lot Apple!
Your over popular smartphone for dumb people is not only an over rated joke of a phone for sheeple, but its taking connectivity away from our awesome (slightly older 4G phones) that most likely won't be getting any more radio updates. This is probably why my GS3 isn't too bad right now (knock on wood) because of the newer modems still coming out.
Ever get double texts or have friends with really freaking slow 3G Droids??
We can thank the idont 4 and 4s for that as well. They over saturated the 3G market which Verizon is not putting another DIME into. So unfortunately Tbolt users and other "older pioneer 4G devices", looks like unless there are new radio leaks, we're kinda SOL.
So there you have it...
Now find that friend of yours that has an idont 5 and thank them for stepping on our toes and our precious 4G on the pioneer phones.
Sent from my galaxy tab 2 tethered to my GS3 with great 4G while watching my gf's Tbolt drop and regain signal :/

The reason at&t dropped unlimited so fast is because they saturated the market with the iPhone3 and 3gs which destroyed their bandwidth. When the 4 and 4s came out it became even worse. I have tired calling Verizon almost since launch day only trying to get a new sim and I can't even get through.

I AM the "person" I wasnt trying to throw myself out there about such a hot/negative topic that involved my career. I'll just go with its "free speech" and I deal with this all day, everyday and explain this to my customers and clients faces all the time.
If you read the whole post, data drops did happen before the iPhone 5, but clearly since the launch, its gotten rediculous. The type of phone you have, your location and the amount of support the manufacturer puts out there with OTA radio updates etc.. greatly matters as well.
I'm not getting more in depth about this topic than I already have. The info is in the writing.
Just a little knowledge for the masses rather than me explaining this to about 7-12 people everyday I work.

This has been happening since June 2012 to both the Thunderbolts on my account. Sim cards have been replaced and one phone was replaced. Nothing has fixed it. There have been times in the past where i thought i fixed the issue, but those turned out to be only temporary. Verizon's network has become complete garbage IMO. I've had an open ticket for this issue for eight weeks now. Everytime I call I'm told I will just have to wait longer for it to be resolved. I'm seriously considering cancelling all six of my lines soon.

Vzw gsiii $0 etf

So I searched through the forums for this, and didn't see anything so I figured I'd make a new topic....
I'm currently on a family plan, and I got my GS3 this summer on day one as I had preordered it to save my unlimited data...
However, for a multitude of reasons, I'm strongly considering closing my line off of the family plan and getting my own plan on ATT.
When I got my GS3, my receipt said $0 for the ETF, as did a number of other people I remember seeing around release time.
I'm curious, has anyone who had the $0 ETF canceled or heard of anyone who also had it canceling their plan with no charge?

Out of curiosity why Att? Not only will you not get unlimited data, the service is not as good as Verizon. I know because I came from them after 3 years of putting up with slow 3g and then getting threatened to have my plan switched and throttled without my permission. The only thing I miss from them is cheaper plan and not trying to lock down phones like Verizon which is the one thing that might drive me away eventually.

I know because I came from them after 3 years of putting up with slow 3g and then getting threatened to have my plan switched and throttled without my permission. The only thing I miss from them is cheaper plan and not trying to lock down phones like Verizon which is the one thing that might drive me away eventually.

Discounts through work, and they still have LTE. Plus I would prefer a GSM-based network, and ATT > TMobile

And the funny thing is ATTs LTE speeds are on par with T-Mo's HSPA+ lol plus T-Mo has a reasonably priced unlimited everything plan with no throttling. How exactly is ATT better than T-Mo?

T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are only good in certain areas. You'll hit a lot of dead zones and be on EDGE a lot more than you will be on AT&T.

sounds like a poor decision.

I can confirm this. Switched from T-Mobile to Verizon because of frequent dropped calls and their data coverage is horrible unless you live in a good size city. Plan prices were the best though.

Also their LTE is running on 2 different bands I beleive. My friend has an iPhone 5 and we compared speeds using the speedtest app. Mine was pulling 25DL while his was only getting about 5DL. I may be wrong about the bands but I sure made fun of that speed. Especially since Verizon lte is already carrying a heavier load than att's lte which is still kinda new

I can also confirm this. I used to be on T-Mobile 2 year ago and there were a lot of moments where I couldn't even call or text a friend at all. Switched to Verizon and all of those issues vanished. Haven't regretted my switch ever since

I appreciate everyone's concern about my carrier choice, but I'm more curious about the orignal question of if anyone has heard of anyone switching with the $0 ETF

Usually they charge you when you break your contact, unless your close to it being over they may let you go. Depends on which kind of service Rep you get.
