A few hours ago, EDGE gave up and now I have the little circle symbol indicating I'm on whatever craptastic old network that is acting as the EDGE backup.

As I can't actually make calls, I wrote an email to AT&T customer service at around 10 this morning, with no response.

There is much suspicion amongst iPhone 3G users that AT&T purposefully disengaged service to allow greater service response from iPhone 3GS users ... thereby showing off their new "2x faster" network.

Interestingly, my fellow colleagues who are also on AT&T's 3G network ... using a non-iPhone device ... still have uninterrupted 3G service all the while.

What say you?

These range from taking forever to dial, calls dropping in the middle of a conversation, people can't hear me but I can hear them, etc, all the while with full bars of reception.

I've called them and they seem to want to blame it on my location or the phone itself for the problems. All along they told me that their service showed no outages.

Today, I call them for one more spat of dropped calls and finally the CS person admits that indeed, they've been having outages in this area for the last several weeks.

It is despicable that AT&T has such a poor record of service provided and not compensate consumers for the inconvenience and lack of service.

It is about time that we all start a class action suite to recover damages for the losses.

Any attorneys in this forum?
