Usually the data service in my area isn’t that bad, actually kinda fast. But this week it has been just terrible.
I’m averaging around 250 Kbits/s for downloads and 2 Kbits/s for uploads!?!
Anyone else experiencing this? I can barely even check my damn email, it’s so slow.
Yes I am. I have been blaming it on my computer, the new IE I didn’t want but got anyway, the new virus checker etc. Maybe it’s AT&T. I hope so as that will probably get fixed without my doing anything!
No I’m fine. I’m in Chicago.
Did you check your profile? Are you using DSL or U-Verse? I have DSL and I check my profile if it goes slow for more than an hour. Sometimes your profile will reset.
Also check at DSLReports, it’s not only for DSL but all broadband. Check the forums and the forum for ATT
Oops, sorry, I didn’t clarify!
I meant wireless data (iPhone, to be exact). It has been slower than it ever has this week.
My U-verse was completely out this morning for an hour. I think it was a local problem though.
My iPhone data has been a lot slower. Also, for the last week, all of my friends with iPhones have been receiving sporadic (at best) text messages- some are received, some never are. I’ve also had several people tell me they’ve called me but I have no missed call, no voicemail, no nothin’.
Heck, even our work phones (non smart phone variety) have been dropping just about every other call, which is crazy because I have NEVER had the call dropping issue with ATT that others complain about (on any of our phones).
I’m house sitting for one of my sisters and they have U-Verse. The internet has been slow on and off for almost a week.
It’s highly annoying!! Email has been OK, but trying to play games or watch videos has been absolute torture!
It seems to be mostly slow at night, but I’ve had periods during the day where things have gotten to almost dial-up slowness.
