As part of a planned series of network upgrades, AT&T has now lit up the 850MHz spectrum that it has in New York City. City residents should see improved network performance. AT&T recently did the same in Atlanta and San Francisco.

We are still yet to get any testimonies from anyone in Atlanta or San Fransisco!!!! I would be nice to hear from somebody who lives in one of these 3 cities so we in other metro areas can have an idea what to expect when our perspective cities are upgraded.

The service has improved here in Atlanta. Normally my service in my home was mediocre at best but now I have 3 - 4 bars of 3G (before it was 3 bars of edge service). Also, I haven't had a drop call in a while (knock on wood) since the upgrade. Let's j...

That's a bunch of hard to understand advanced wireless talk there. First what the heck is the difference between "Cellular 850" & "GSM 850"?
Also, this stuff about 25mhz chunks of 850, to me that sounds like there is 825mhz MISSING from the signal ...
