AT&T customers fed up with it's unreliable network has come up with a plan to turn on their most intensive web-browsing applications at 3 p.m. to illustrate how AT&T's network is essentially worthless.

1. I heard that iphone web use was crippling the system for other users with non-iphones

3. That's what I hear as well...

I read an article yesterday saying that a mere 3% of users are responsible for 40% of their web-based network use.

Unfortunately, AT&T has an amazing product, but the netowrk to support the product lags. Unfortunately for AT&T users under contract, there is no immediate profitibility for AT&T to upgrade it's network performance.

5. Maybe if they got out of the illegal wiretapping service

they provide to the Govt, they could reallocate those resources to provide better network support. Just sayin'----.

2. I very rarely have trouble with my AT+T DSL service.

Maybe it's a regional issue. I'm in a Chicago suburb where the utility lines are underground.

4. I think this is more geared to the wireless 3G and 4G networks

not your DSL service.
