AT&T today announced that it offers the nation’s fastest 3G network. AT&T bases its claim on variety of tests conducted by leading third-party researchers, who downloaded a variety of applications and files to test throughput and overall performance of various 3G-service providers in US (AT&T, Verizon and Sprint). AT&T was the winner by a significant margin.
"We've invested billions of dollars in our 3G network, and now we can proudly claim it as the nation's fastest 3G network," said Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T's wireless unit. "We will continue to expand our 3G network coverage into new areas, grow our lineup of industry-leading devices, such as iPhone 3G, and deliver compelling new 3G services to market like Video Share(SM). And to top it off, only AT&T offers the best global coverage. AT&T's ability to serve its wireless customers is unparalleled in our industry."
AT&T says that 3G service is available in nearly 300 major US metropolitan areas and the company plans to expand to nearly 350 by end of this year.
