“I am one of many people who got excited about the new Motorola Atrix 4G phone when AT&T advertised that they will be carrying it. The Atrix 4G is a powerful phone and has a lot of great features. Unfortunately, since owning this phone I have been experiencing very slow data speeds and have been losing the Internet connection especially in times when I really needed to find directions or look up information. I have contacted AT&T and was told that everything is fine and that the network in my area is working the way it is supposed to but it isn’t the case.
This is what I ask AT&T:
Why would the Motorola Atrix 4G, advertised as the most powerful phone in the market, register poorer data speeds than other less powerful phones?
This is the main REASON I started this petition: Can AT&T explain to us why our upload speeds can’t go over the 300kpbs mark while other phones such as the iPhone 4 have upload speeds 4 to 10 times faster than the Atrix 4G? Don’t we PAY the SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY for your data plans? STOP CAPPING UPLOAD SPEEDS !!!
I am using Groubal to try to get AT&T and Motorola’s attention about this matter because I couldn’t find any other way to do so….We all know that AT&T is in the process of deploying their “4G” network (Please do not use that EXCUSE to explain the HSUPA CAPPING) but our Atrix 4G phone doesn’t even have 3G upload speeds !
There are so many unhappy paying customers out there and we want to be heard and our phones to work as they are meant to. If this is not resolved before the 30 day return period, unhappy customers like myself will be returning their phones !
On 03-08-2011:
I just got off the phone with AT&T’s president office and I gave my info as well as the address of the petition. I was told it will be escalated to their managers and that they weren’t aware of the issue. If you guys want to call, here is the number (There is no waiting): 1-866-220-8446 . The more calls they get, the faster they will respond !! CALL PLEASE !

Response from AT&T to a Better Business Bureau complaint:
“AT&T Mobility (AT&T) received the above-referenced customer complaint and appreciates the opportunity to respond. Specifically, Keith Geissler complains that the recently released Motorola Atrix does not offer speeds anywhere near what advertised speeds claim. He is requesting activation of 4G services and removal of the cap on the Motorola Atrix services.
Account research regarding this complaint shows that AT&T is focused on delivering a wide choice of solutions and the best possible Smartphone experience to our customers. Be assured that AT&T has not “capped” the upload speeds on the ATRIX. The ATRIX is a HSUPA-capable device, and we currently are performing the testing and preparations necessary to ensure that, when we turn this feature on, you will continue to have a world class experience.
We ask that you please keep in mind; software is only one of many factors that can affect speeds experienced. Factors such as location, time of day, network capacity and facilities, can have an impact as well. Again, in order to ensure the best possible customer experience services will become available once testing has been completed.”
Talking about transparency ! Thanks to Keith Geissler

The PEOPLE'S VOICE MUST BE HEARD!
Published on The Huffington Post
If AT&T's plan to begin capping broadband usage worries you, you're not alone.
Democratic Representative Edward Markey expressed his concerns over the proposed policy change, as reported by Hillicon Valley.
"I am concerned that charging more for increased usage would raise prices for some consumers and potentially lead to lower broadband adoption levels," he said. "This would undermine our broadband goals as outlined in the National Broadband Plan while undercutting our global competitiveness, and I will be closely monitoring this decision."
AT&T plans to cap DSL users at 150 GB per month, and U-Verse users at 250 GB per month, starting on May 2. Those who run over these caps three times in three separate months would be charged $10 for each 50 GB over the cap. According to the carrier, the caps would only affect about 2 percent of their users.
Some advocates fear that raising prices on higher rates of bandwidth usage has the potential to slow not only user adoption, but web innovation, calling such actions symptomatic of broadband's lack of real competition.
"AT&T's Internet overcharging is a poor solution to an unproven problem, and it will have a chilling effect on economic growth and innovation online," wrote S. Derek Turner of the Free Press in a press release. "AT&T claims that its caps and penalties will only affect a few users, but unless the limits grow rapidly along with usage, many more customers will soon be ensnared. When ISPs force their customers to watch the meter, experimentation, innovation and business will suffer."
Markey underscored the importance of web freedom in the development of Internet progress.

Class action suit is all these companies understand anymore.
Blame it on backhaul or whatever you want, but the ads say "up to 6 megs down" on average and I have mostly been 2.5 or so in a market where the map says we get HSPA+ speeds. It is the old "up to" misleading ads again.
I am going to take this phone back and leave AT&T and take my kids iphones with it to Verizon. Their LTE is coming here soon and we'll see how bad ATT is.
My works great!
AT&T needs to enable HSUPA *and* deliver 4G download speeds for this phone (their site clearly claims 'up to 4x faster than 3g')...otherwise I'll be returning this great phone and moving to another network.
If the network "isn't ready" for an increase in upload speeds, then cap the iPhone 4's uploads/downloads; they didn't pay for HSUPA did they?
Even the internet speed are blocked ! what the hell?
I call it fraud.
Where's the backhaul thats supposed to be active on almost 100% of the network?
Iphone 4G is 4th generation of iphones.
You cannot just market every phone with a suffix 4G in the name.
Why give preferential treatment to the iPhone crowd when you're loosing them to Verizon at&t? I think they should be treating those of us who recently re-upped our contracts to some faster speeds(or even better, the advertised speeds). I feel like AT&T is saying they do not like my business or my dollars.
Very unsatisfied
signed, me.
This is pathetic... 20 more days left before this baby goes back.
I hear T-Mobile has great 4G service that actually works!
4G...HUH?
In his keynote here, David Haight, VP of business development at AT&T’s Emerging Devices Organization, said that if users roam off LTE, they would go to faster 3G in 2011. “The good news is that you’re going to fall back to HSPA+, so you’re falling back to 14.4 megabits, not 7.2 or 3.6,” Haight told the crowd. (See 4G World: AT&T Learns Lessons From iPad.)
So far, AT&T has only said that it will deploy the earlier 14.4Mbit/s upgrade by the end of 2010, revealing nothing about a 21Mbit/s upgrade in 2011. So we asked AT&T what the official word on this was.
“HSPA+ technology has a theoretical maximum speed of 21Mbps,” a spokeswoman said, in an email reply to questions. “WE HAVE NOT BEGUN DEPLOYING THE TECHNOLOGY AT THIS TIME”,she said that ONLY last October – then now magically they are 4G (See AT&T Plots Widescale HSPA+ Rollout .)
Nonetheless, if AT&T is interested in keeping up with GSM rival T-Mobile then HSPA+ is a logical progression. T-Mobile is currently rolling out a 21Mbit/s upgrade for over 100 cities now; it currently has the speed boost running in 100+ cities in the US. They proud of announcing every city that they lit up for 21 hspa+ but AT&T cannot do that because they are just putting 7.2 & 14.4...
The average download speeds offered on 21Mbit/s HSPA+ are in the 5 to 8 Mbit/s range, but we seen Max. of 12.5Mbps in Samsung Galaxy S 4G in some city with 3Mbps upload. (See T-Mobile’s HSPA+ Rivals Clearwire, US LTE Speeds.)
When we are in Austin,Texas for ANDROID FESTIVAL, TMobile executives said that 42Mbps hspa+ will be available by last week of MARCH or 1st week of APRIL - 2011 then AT&T will start to deploy 21Mbps hspa+ that time... LATE IN THE GAME!!!
I called a friend who is engineer in AT&T MOBILITY DEPT. (15 years) & he said to me that THEY STILL USE THE 7.2Mbps & SOME city with 14.4Mbps HSPA, NOT YET THE 21 HSPA+ (maybe they will start last week of February or 1st week of March, he said in SOME CITIES NOT 100+ LIKE TMOBILE) So the hspa that AT&T saying that will cover more is the 7.2 & 14.4 NOT THE 21 HSPA+...

When will companies learn that the only reason they exist is because of their customers? Lying and misleading your customers will not breed loyalty. Good products will bring you to the top, but only dedication to excellent customer service will keep you there.
Hey AT&T! You still have time, FIX the issues before it is too late.
At&t = Fail
Goodbye AT&T.
Premium devices should be treated as such.
To Motorola, you have done so many things right with the Atrix. It's hardware is unmatched and probably will be for the next 1-2 years. However, if you continue to bend over backwards for the carriers, I don't think you will ever develop a customer base. I would've bought the Atrix carrier un-locked even if it meant paying a higher price (I'm sure others on this petition would agree).
UNCAP YOUR UPLOAD SPEEDS and run a real network.

What??!!... are you kidding me... what a crock! We need to put these crooks feet to the fire!
Until then F you AT&T
We spend a lot of money on your service.
smh
We need the "G" to go from "Gridlock" to "Great" experience.
Doing things the right way can often be a better return on your investment than screwing customers. Android customers would likely reward (with their wallets) a network that supported completely open android and a level network playing field.
Get your head out of your ass and stop being so greedy!!!
Whatever that is my Atrix data speeds are not closer to my home cable speeds.
As a an AT&T customer since iphone 1 it'd be nice to own an phone through them that they haven't done something to minimize it's capability.
Then there is the extra billing for "4g".
i wouldn't mind if my phone was as fast as whatever "4g" is supposed to be.
So they lied last year, now the government acts like this never happened.
Well, unlimited back would be nice.

This move will (possibly) decimate its customer base and (hopefully) obliterate it. Sign me up!
Rip off from AT&T
You got to be kidding me!
Oh, yeah, when they took away the unlimited data plan.
What a bunch of lying scumbags. I find it remarkable that only 2% of their wireless users AND 2% of their home users go over the new AT&T limits.
These douchebags need to go out of business fast.
I know the reason for their Capping.
It's not a good reason simply b/c it affects certain Smartphones, yet not others.
So you wonder about Conserquence?
It would be similar to Buffalo's fate.
AT&T has once sprung out of corpse before, it was shut down after lthe Landline telephone startedot shrink, it may repeat.
GeneralMotors was lucky to be bailed out by taxpayers, AT&T may not be so.
Stop capping my Motorola "Atrix"

at the end of the day she went to sleep,
i entered her room and wake her up
and started discussing about this
actually i was out of control so i asked her if she wants to have smex with me

I suggest you search your website/favorite sites and see if you prefer it to Google or other big names search engines.
