AT&T Disables Inspire 4G HSUPA

Ouch!

Hope Att doesn't cripple the Atrix like they did with the Inspire for no reason...


All android devices will have hspua disabled its been like that since day one. It won't affect the average users at all. 99% of people only use the download speeds on there phones. Also I believe once hspa+ launches this will change once there is all.new backhaul

Oh I know and you're right... :)

It's just that about a week or two ago, I read they were enabling it for Android phones, as the article confirms they did for the iPhone.

What really ticks me off is I still have this uneasy feeling that AT&T continues to give preferential treatment to Apple and the iPud... Oops I meant the iPhone 4. Heh!

In addition I use my Inspire to upload very large files to my company when I'm traveling which is weekly. I use my Inspires ability to connect to my laptop and transfer these files to it's memory card, do a final check then send them. So in that regard as an IT guy I'm using it's full capabilities unlike "your average user". Oh well it was no big shock, it's the Apple thing that set me off. A very difficult task, as I'm a really low key guy.

Cheers :)

Um, I was just posting a link to an already existing thread on this topic. Yours is a "repost".

I do _not_ repost, nor practice plagiarism.

This is a serious accusation on your part.

If indeed someone else posted the information, it did not appear in the forum search I conducted prior to my post.

I have no further comment.

When I actually have ATT 4G in my area I'll worry about it, till then it's no biggie...
One thing I have noticed on mine is it's extremely well optimized for AT&T's 3G network. I'm in an area where they have great speed on 3G and my Inspire is noticeably faster than any phone I've had so far, it's so much faster than my iPhone it's shocking. And I'm speaking of when I'm working on the web.

Cheers :)

Although I'm not happy with ATT disabling it, I still doesn't bother me much. I was reading somewhere that higher upload speeds only benefits those that video chat (which we Inspire owners can't anyway) and online gaming (which I don't do either lol). Give me a better battery replacement HTC and I'm still in heaven.

I agree my 3G speeds are equal to my Nexus One so I'm cool for now!
