Send AT&T a Message This Friday With Operation Chokehold

iphoneEver since the iPhone came out, the AT&T network has been jam packed with too much data and not enough bandwidth. Users complained about this for months, and even though there were some improvements the introduction of the iPhone 3G S and then a flood of data intensive apps such as video streaming came onto the market, the bottle neck just wasn’t wide enough.

AT&T customers have had enough and many are falling in line with a man called ‘Fake Steve’ is asking all iPhone users on the AT&T network in the US to choke the network on Friday at noon. Here’s what he want everyone to do.

“On Friday, December 18, at noon Pacific time, we will attempt to overwhelm the AT&T data network and bring it to its knees. The goal is to have every iPhone user (or as many as we can) turn on a data intensive app and run that app for one solid hour. Send the message to AT&T that we are sick of their substandard network and sick of their abusive comments. The idea is we’ll create a digital flash mob. We’re calling it in Operation Chokehold. Join us and speak truth to power!”
