AT&T officially expands 3G into Cape Girardeau

Friday, July 10, 2009

AT&T has officially expanded its 3G mobile broadband network into the Cape Girardeau area.

The launch was announced Thursday morning at a news conference at AT&T's 3363 Gordonville Road location in Cape Girardeau. The network provides a faster Internet connection, access to e-mail and file downloads. Other features are live video sharing and remote home monitoring.

Among the areas receiving the service in the area as Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Scott City and Chaffee, Mo.

"With the 3G network, AT&T users now have the ability to show others exactly what they see, when they are seeing it and talk about it at the same time," said AT&T spokeswoman Marsha Haskell.

The company conducted a soft launch in the area last month. AT&T had previously announced a decision to expand the service into the Cape Girardeau and Joplin, Mo., areas by the summer.

Unfortunately, ever since they did their "soft launch" last month, my wife has been having more and more dropped calls.

More dropped calls for my husband and I as well, including dropped business calls that killed the deal and lost income for us. Thanks AT & T, but you can keep your upgrades to yourself until you do it right and don't cut service to your regular customers.

I have noticed that you must turn your iphone off and then on again if you go to a 3g network. Otherwise i will drop every call as soon as i answer it.
