AT&T Rolls Out HSDPA: iPhone Upgrade Coming?

Topic:

Every time AT&T sends out a press release or makes a new advertisement they make the rather bold claim of having the 'fastest 3G network' in the world. The fact that their customers have sued them over the falsehood of this claim has done nothing to stop AT&T from shouting it to anyone who will listen. While I doubt the communication's powerhouse will ever admit that their claims are, at best, exaggerated, at least they're working to fix their network.

HSDPA is coming to AT&T, which means that their customers can look forward to seeing download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps. High speed packet access is a major upgrade that will bring AT&T's network close to 4G speeds way ahead of any of their competitors. This is good news for ATT customers, and for Apple fanatics.
