AT&T starts firing up 850MHz 3G towers

With all of the negative publicity AT&T has been receiving the past few….months…there is a small glimmer of hope for the often knocked, rarely praised cellular giant. Their promise to bring more reliable and further reaching 3G coverage by way of the 850MHz band is starting to come to fruition. Starting with downtown Atlanta, Georgia and parts of Fulton, DeKalb, North Fulton, Cobb, Gwinnett, and Fayette counties, users should now experience better indoor 3G coverage as well as better voice and data quality connections. So far, the number cell sites that have been flipped is up to 540 making making for an image that they are infact moving at a brisk clip. They aren’t taking a break however as by the end of 2009, several more cities are scheduled to get the ‘ol switcheroo treatment including but not limited to New York and San Francisco. Are you waking up a tad more pleased with AT&T this morning?

From the horses mouth…
