Who’d thunk it? Seems that AT&T is not alone in dealing with problems in their network thanks to the wide success of the iPhone. What immediately struck me about how O2 is handling this is that they are owning up to the shortcoming rather than blaming the customers for using too much data.

I also found it interesting that there are reports that O2 learned some lessons on how not to handle data issues like this from mistakes that continue by AT&T. But here is the big kicker for me. O2 is working to better their infrastructure in their problem locations. To my knowledge (please comment with links if I am wrong), AT&T has done NOTHING but talk and release a problem reporting iPhone application.

So props to O2 in the UK for showing us an example of an iPhone using mobile carrier trying to make things right. Sure do wish we could say the same here in the States.

I guess that is all I really want to see from AT&T on this issue. Show us you are actually doing something, anything, besides playing PR band-aid with those lame “it’s good enough” commercials with some guy no one has even heard of. Get with it, AT&T!
