So yes, the sales trash talk, I get. I even mocked it a bit.

I expect Gigaom to have higher standard than just plain repeating of sales ‘trash talk’.

They will have to sell handsets at the iPhone rate. Also, they likely have less traffic other smartphones and laptops than AT&T.

Maybe they think iPhone users complain louder and more self-entitled. But the reality is that if they repeat AT&T’s iPhone performance issues, the reaction will be the same. So they should not be so smug, and prepare to handle any traffic surges.
