AT&T / Cingular Edge on ‘Roids?

Well, seems that silly iPhone did it again. Indirectly, of course. No way of “truly” knowing, short of a press release, whether a huge boost in speed on Cingular and AT&T’s EDGE network wasn’t a massive, simultaneous, nation-wide boot up of new hardware and protocols, but we could venture a guess what it was for. It’s has been rumored for a while that AT&T would give the EDGE a kick in the pants for the iPhone launch; even garnering the nickname “Fine Edge”. Even so, after the June 29th launch date, Edge users were reporting a big increase in speed over their networks; some even had around a 50% boost!

Though the news of AT&T employees forcing iPhone accessories upon customers is worthy to be frowned upon, it seems everybody (with a Cingular plan) wins in this deal.

Oh, and sorry about posting about the iPhone, Paul… (see this post)
