This partnership with at&amp;t is the worst mistake Apple has made since they forced Steve Jobs out in 1985.
I'll be more than happy to buy new hardware to switch networks away from at&amp;t, I only wish there were some way to make at&amp;t pay more for their incompetence.
Maybe when half their mobile base leaves themonce there is some other option, they'll wise up and provide decent service.But from what I've already endured because of the lack of decent service, I'd prefer if they would just go out of business.</sentencetext>

	<htmltext>I am a network tech at an IT company and we deal with ATT with their DSL for some of our clients. They have horrible service that seems to be getting worse. You always get transferred to 5-6 people before someone will help you. There has also been incidents of them terminating clients DSL randomly with no reason. They told me specifically "we don&rsquo;t have any reason this dsl account was terminated". Then they conveniently want you to sign up for 2 years. This has happened multiple times with different people in my company.

I am not sure what is going on with ATT but this article does not surprise me. They are not the ATT that was founded years ago.</htmltext>

Probably best in NYC to open up the iphone to all providers - then people can jump around to the network that sucks least for them - anyway, it seems kind of stupid to be trying to download youtube videos in the middle of the day in the middle of a busy city over the 3G network, people who do that probably deserve slow service.</htmltext>
