Numberzz Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Today, it appears that all devices that are using EDGE technology in the mid-east of the US might not be working for quite a while...until February 5th. It seems that the servers that control at&t's edge network are out, meaning that no EDGE will work. This seems to affect users from Chicago to Kansas, a strange area if I do say so myself. Again, at&t said that EDGE service might be out until February 5th at the latest. If you are affected by this, let us know!

x986123 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I have at&t but no edge. And anyway, does it affect California? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84954-edge-is-down-for-the-count/#findComment-603256 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Sherman Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Glad I stay far far away from AT&T. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/84954-edge-is-down-for-the-count/#findComment-603264 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikonnut Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I kept getting a remote connection failure today at lunch (12:00 CST) but by second break (2:30 CST) all was well again. I'm in Arkansas. The odd thing is that I was on the 3G when I got the error not EDGE.

EDGE is a slow, but it's not unbearably slow. I can wait the extra 5 seconds for my page to load. It's not that big of a deal.

bptba93 Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 I live in Kansas and my Samsung Sync still showed the "E" symbol and not the G so all must be well here.

Funny thing is, my coworker has a Blackberry 8830 on Verizon's EV-DO network and the internet doesn't feel any faster at all. I am very content with T-Mobile's EDGE service. Just wish it had as capable a web browser as the iPhone's.

Paranoid Marvin Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 EDGE? People still use EDGE? I thought all smartphones had 3G nowadays, at the very least. The 3.5G ones are becoming pretty popular now...
