[...] In the wake of a big $65 million upgrade to its network here in the San Francisco Bay Area, AT&T revealed that the improvement was due to 3G usage being up 2,000% after the release of the iPhone 3G last year. That sounds like a crazy number for which the iPhone deserves all kinds of high fives, but it’s really not surprising—how many AT&T 3G phones were there before the iPhone 3G, even? And of course 3G use across the board is up in crazy numbers, since smartphones have really started taking off in the last year or so—so to be honest, the number doesn’t really mean all that much. Hence its ending up here in the sad pit of Remainders. [All Things D] [...]

[...] Bay Area iPhone users, relief is on the way. AT&T has almost completed a $65 million upgrade to its network in the region. The carrier has upgraded close to 850 cell sites in an effort to better handle the massive surge in data traffic it has seen in and around San Francisco since the debut of iPhone.

Verizon just now launched their very first phone with a desktop class Web browser (Droid) and it has a 5GB per month cap. So Verizon is 3 years at least behind AT&T in providing PC-like data to phone users.

It is clear that the incredible success of the iPhone has come at a price – an exponential increase in demand on the carriers’ data networks. Although there is gloating taking place at the other carriers, especially Verizon, they should take heed as the AT&T situation is clearly showing what the future looks like for data demand and that their competitors networks will suffer the same fate / problems at some point in time.

Here in Sillycon Valley, AT&T 3G coverage sucks big time. I am not talking about metro San Francisco at the end of the Peninsula, I am talking about the South Bay including San Jose, Santa Clara, Los Gatos, Campbell, and other cities on the Peninsula including Cupertino and Palo Alto.

For AT&T to claim the “best” in 3G coverage, there should be better coverage in Sillycon Valley centered in the South Bay and including the East Bay, Peninsula, and North Bay.

Results on Santa Clara VTA light rail, CalTrans Rail, Altamont Express Rail, Amtrak Rail, BART light rail, and every SF Bay County bus service as a rider has been less than impressive!
