Blogging My Life...On Friday, I received one of those automated text messages from AT&T on my iPhone. The notification told me that AT&T's 3G network is now covering my area, including new coverage in Rockland & Bergen counties.
Hmm, as far as I know, Bergen county was covered since the iPhone 3G came out. I know Rockland county was starting seeing 3G coverage as far back as August 5, 2008. Yes, two and a half months ago. Why would AT&T send out this notification now? Did they think we didn't notice the 3G symbol at the top?
I don't get it.
Maybe they are simply saying they updated their map at http://att.com/3gcoverage which now shows the blue green coverage map:
Glad it took only 2.5 months to update the map.

In Northern New Jersey it's the opposite. The coverage map says 3G everywhere, but its spotty at best.
The map was really accurate, but sometime over the last month they went from showing about 30% coverage to 100% coverage, even though there is only slightly more 3G coverage in the area.

gotta love AT&T...their tagline should be "Always two months late"
