ATRIX 4G and Inspire 4G users given glimmer of hope following complaints of capped data speeds

Some Motorola ATRIX 4G and HTC Inspire 4G owners on the AT&T network have been up in arms since purchasing their new 4G handsets. Despite the presence of “4G” in each moniker, users are experiencing slower than expected upload speeds on the devices. Some users like Zack Nebbaki have been so upset by the slow upload speeds, they’ve gone as far as to create a petition to voice their discontent. While we wish we had something more concrete to report, we just received the following comment from an AT&T spokesperson that may help put some minds at ease: “We have a number of HSUPA devices today and we will have more HSUPA-enabled devices in the future — new devices and updates to existing models.” The statement does not specifically refer to the ATRIX or Inspire so nothing is confirmed, but the mention of “updates to existing models” should at least give users hope that their 4G phones might be updated in the future.

    Hey, it adds up bro. That’s $240 over the term of a 2-year contract which you can get a high end phone with.

    That is it….why the *&&^# release a so called 4G device if you can’t support it network wise! WTF!

      “4G” is what all the cool companies are naming their phones these days – AT&T just wanted to fit in.

    So happy I am with the best carrier in the USA, T-Mobile, fastest, best plans and prices and of course they support vanilla Android and the Nexus One. To top this off they are bringing us a dual processor beast.
    Thank You T-Mobile

      A company with half the “T’s” but with twice the service – ironic!

    So here we yet again — they launch a new hot device on a network that CAN’T support it. Just like the iphone. One would think they’d learn by now. Maybe this is the way they get prepared — just hack the phone so it doesn’t work at its full potential being that the network can’t handle it. Their network is pathetically awful and I truly hate them. I’d leave if I could.
