Here in the states, AT&T is hard at work upping network capacity by offloading their 3G network onto the 850MHz frequency band. The lower frequency means increased range and better penetration through obstructions. EU residents currently get 3G served up via the 2100MHz band — quite a bit higher. Because of that, reception can often be hampered by what seems even the smallest obstructions. Redemption is in store however as the EU is moving on up…or more literally…down to actual useful frequencies in the 900MHz and 1800MHz range. While not as resilient as AT&T U.S.’s 850MHz network, I’m sure those of you who live with 2100MHz 3G day in and day out will take pretty much anything you can get. A fully completed phone call would be a start. Starting now, EU members have 6 months to make the changes necessary, shifting 3G over to the lower frequencies. Any EU readers care to give us a small glimpse into your current life full of cellular strife and the redemption that is in store?
