AT&T Reaches 73% Completion on 3G Network

We are just weeks away from Apple's release of the 3G iPhone. In anticipation for the 3G iPhone, AT&T has been hard at work on their 3G network.

As of yesterday AT&T reported 73% completion. According to PRNewswire,

"Today the superfast AT&T 3G network is available in more than 275 markets. By year-end, the AT&T 3G network will be available in nearly 350 markets."

"With the new addition of HSUPA technology, AT&T 3G users can enjoy uplink speeds between 500 and 800 Kbps. The technology is available in all but the few remaining AT&T 3G markets and will be included in all future deployments. The new upload speeds complement AT&T's 3G download capabilities, which currently offer up to 1.4 Mbps across all markets for customers who have capable devices, such as AT&T's LaptopConnect wireless modems."

This should provide broadband speed access for those who purchase a 3G iPhone due out later next month!
