AT&T sues Verizon Wireless over 3G Ads

Maybe it will kick start AT&T into getting 3G service rolled on out to the rest of the country in more rural areas instead of just the big cities. I know out where I live the only thing I can get from AT&T coverage is EDGE which I was on for several months until EVDO became available through Alltel and I switched because who wants to download at 200kbps when you could be downloading at 1.3Mbps for the same price.

Alltel has been great for me up until the point of the Verizon merger at which point things have started to go sort of downhill in terms of my download speeds and ping times as well as the fact when my contract runs out next year I'll be looking at a 5GB download cap with crazy overage fees. I know AT&T states a 5GB limit in their service agreement as well but at least when I had service with them a little over a year ago they never seemed to enforce it because I went over 5GB about every month and never had any additional charges on my bill.

ATT customers need to hope that the judge that hears this case is an ATT customer who cannot stand the lack of "3G" coverage with his iPhone.

The judge will then make a ruling that forever more defines what can or can't be called "3G coverage", and make ATT pay dearly for trying to fool the world into thinking their large network is "3G' just because a "3G" phone can operate on it at EDGE speeds.

WTF ATT?
