Another lawsuit is being thrown Apple and AT&T’s way. Previous lawsuits have included the construction of the devices however this time, it is all about service delivery.
This time, the law is getting involved against Apple and AT&T claiming that the Internet access on the iPhone 3G is too slow. Or at the very least, slow enough to be considered false advertising on Apple’s part. Previous legal papers have been filed against iPhone 3G reception and speed. Through the current legal battle, the presentation of marketing and product information may change.
One part worth noting is that Apple are not supplying or maintaining the infrastructure to which the iPhone relies. Advertising can be a little over to top however the network itself is owned by AT&T. After previous problems relating to reception for the iPhone have been fixed, this seems to be more of a problem for AT&T. Updates and information about the matter will be posted as soon as they come to hand.

Sue AT&T. Don’t waste time suing Apple. They’re not the network provider and have no way of changing the lousy service that AT&T provides.
I live in Michigan, just outside of Grand Rapids, and I only enjoy 3g coverage when I travel 40+ miles towards the city. Since AT&T created their “3g” network, I have yet to see any coverage expansion within our state. It is truly sad that a company can advertise for services that they do not wholly provide.
