AT&T Wireless Data Still Growing At 1000%

Posted by samzenpus on from the big-and-bigger dept.

jfruhlinger writes "AT&T's wireless network came under a microscope when it seemed unable to handle the massive data use boost that came when the iPhone arrived on the scene. The company has since put money into its infrastructure, and that growth rate has slowed somewhat, but it's still gone up 30 times over the past three years."

    you are so bad at math, i hope you don't code for a living 1000% more than 1000GB is 1000GB * 1/100*1000+1000GB so it is = 11000GB....

    Parent's comment is a joke about Verizon's apparent inability to do math.

    They went from roughly 3TB/day to 78TB/day over their nationwide network and they can't handle it? That means that on average, each of their customers used barely 1MB/day. Even if 1% of their customer base uses the data network, that is still only 100MB/day.

    An ISP that cannot handle their customers getting 100MB/day is not worth being named an ISP imho.
