I noticed my 3G service was very shaky … and I live only four miles (as the crow flies) from Manhattan. I simply disabled the 3G antenna figuring "why put myself through the hassle" and service has been fine. I did notice that even on the EDGE network my signal strength wasn’t nearly a full five bars. Interestingly, as soon as I cross the Canadian border and hit the Rogers Network I have had a full five bars for the duration of my business trip. Granted, I had to disable the data roaming to avoid racking up an enormous bill. But with that experience and Wired’s survey in mind … it very well could be an AT&T issue.

I live 10 miles south of Harrisburg PA— and about 40 miles north of Baltimore. Both of these markets have 3G coverage, yet the coverage area stops south of Harrisburg at roughly the Turnpike—about 5 miles north of me; and about 30 miles south of me for the Baltimore market. Yet, according to the AT&T reps I’ve talked with the area where I live in has sold MORE iPhones than the Harrisburg Market.

Yup..blame this on AT&T…at least from my perspective. Note: This is why I don’t own one; although it is ‘alleged’ that my market might have 3G service by spring of ’09.
