AT&T slowing EDGE to force customers to switch to 3G? {Engadget}
Jan 7th 2009 12:29PM Ok. Here's the deal. What ATT is doing is MOVING some of the EDGE service to the 1900mhz band to make room for the 3G service on the 850mhz band.
Why?
Because the 850mhz band signal can travel farther from the individual cell towers than 1900mhz can...and the farther away from a cell tower you get...the slower your data speed! This is really only going to affect those customers on the fringes of the ATT service map because their EDGE coverage footprint will no longer be as large. The well populated areas with more towers should be fine.
However, it seems to be a smart move on ATT's part because 3G (and LTE eventually) is the future of their network. Why not put the 3G service on the frequency band?
(And as a disclaimer, I don't have an iPhone or ATT)
