AT&T announced completion of an upgrade to its data network in the Virgin Islands.
The next-generation, 3G network, is now available across the territory, according to a company spokeswoman in Puerto Rico. Apple Computer’s newest iPhone model uses the 3G network. It's high-speed broadband wireless service that brings a whole host of services," she told the St. John Source. "We've tested and retested."
does this mean that the old version of the Iphone will not work in St. John?
Not at all. The second generation uses a faster at&t network than the first … the original iPhone will continue to work, just a little slower on the down loads.
Now, if we could only get a network connection of any sort at Trunk or Maho or Cinnamon or Fish Bay or……..
We have a home in Catherinberg on the N Shore… This area is about the only place ATT has no service. Roaming off the BVI tower is always a battle with ATT even though we have an unlimitted free roaming plan. Maybe Santa could put a tower on the N shore!
Is Wifi available in any/many places on the island? Santa brought me an iTouch for Christmas and I’m wondering if I should bring it with me this year.
Plenty of places … even many villas now have wifi. Public … try the Park in Cruz Bay(!) … Surf Da Web at the Marketplace sells access in 15 minute blocks … I think you’ll find you’ll be OK.
Sounds like spoiled people complaining about the price for living in paradise. Stunning Beauty 24/7, slow or no network access. You can come to my house with the high-speed fiber on the telephone pole in the yard, I’ll take your place on the beach so my dive gear can quit collecting dust. : ]
