The weather is finally getting warmer, and this means more time outside the house on the swing with a cigar or cooking up some BBQ (with charcoal of course…I can cook with gas in the house) or working in the yard etc.
All of this also means stepping outside the range of my super fast Wi- Fi and into AT&T’s useless Edge network. Sure Edge isn’t as nice as a solid 3G connection, but that’s not what I’m talking about. In my back yard connecting to the Edge network means dial-up speed data, or more often than not, no data at all. Fortunately, I can use AT&T’s Mark the Spot iPhone app to inform them about my problematic data connection. Of course I generally have to wait until I go back inside for the message to get sent once I’m back inside the range of my home network, and I have to report a bad connection every single day, but I’m sure AT&T will get to working on improving my Edge network as soon as they get my enough of my daily reports. Either that, or they will ignore me because I’m just one guy in a little town complaining about my terrible service. Let’s face it, I’m going to be marking the spot until it’s time to buy my iPhone 7G.
