AT&T Enables 3G in Asheville!

Published in Asheville Live on December 6, 2009

AT&T Enables 3G in Asheville!OK, this one isn’t related to any live events or downtown happenings like most of the posts on this page, but I’m just so excited I had to post it anyway.

I’ve had an iPhone for over a year now, and during that time I’ve grown… let’s say disgruntled… at AT&T due to their weak service in the Asheville area. I have been pretty PO’ed for a while now at the fact that I’ve been paying for a crappy and practically unusable data plan, while users in Charlotte are paying the SAME AMOUNT per month for 3G. I’ve repeatedly called AT&T to try to get an answer as to 1) why my plan costs the same as a 3G plan and 2) when 3G will be coming to Asheville, but the answers have always consisted of script-reading or stonewalling.

Well it took a long time and a full-frontal assault by Verizon (via the “Map for That” campaign), but AT&T has FINALLY turned on 3G in Asheville! I haven’t roamed around the city limits to determine the extents of the 3G coverage, but I get excellent 3G reception downtown and in West Asheville, where I live. I’ve also heard reports that 3G coverage is pretty thorough throughout Asheville.

So let me finally say (for perhaps the first time): AT&T, good on ya!

The Grey Eagle Tavern will be hosting Larry Keel and Natural Bridge on New Years Eve at 8:30 PM.

Connecting traditional songs of yesterday with their own original and inventive sounds of today, Larry Keel & Natural Bridge create astonishingly powerful acoustic music rich in heritage, heart and hot licks! With a style that evokes both atomic rock energy and dynamic tonal purity, Keel and his ensemble are intent upon taking their instruments and their voices to their fullest potential for emotion and amazement. While paying respect to the legacy left by the forefathers of bluegrass, Keel bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary American Mountain Music.
