I called AT&T Support first thing this morning (approx 9am EST) and they reported being UNAWARE of any issues but would call me back shortly after investigating. I received a follow-up call at approx 10:30am EST and the support tech admitted to a “WIDE AREA OUTAGE reaching all over Northern Florida”. There is much suspicion amongst iPhone 3G users that AT&T purposefully disengaged service to allow greater service response from iPhone 3GS users … thereby showing off their new “2x faster” network. Interestingly, my fellow colleagues who are also on AT&T’s 3G network … using a non-iPhone device … still have uninterrupted 3G service all the while. What say you?
