Saturday Night Live Ridicules iPhone’s Network Problems

Monday, December 21, 2009

AT&T’s brand has suffered a complete meltdown in 2009 with alleged reception and dropped call problems in San Francisco and New York City. Now after ranking the lowest in Consumer Reports and fighting a losing war against Verizon on TV, they have become a joke on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.

Comedian Seth Meyers on SNL’s “Weedend Update” segment reports:

“It was reported this week that Google would soon launch its own cellphone as a challenge to the iPhone,” Meyers said in the mock newscast. “Also a challenge to the iPhone? Making phone calls.”

Although Meyer did not specifically mention AT&T in this joke. Most people should realize by now that iPhone’s troubles at making phone calls is due to AT&T’s poor network capacity at handling what they call data hogs. What’s worse, AT&T’s own problems are making the iPhone look bad in the public’s eye.

Saturday’s SNL joke is another addition to AT&T’s already dismal reputation. Hopefully, a Verizon iPhone will be available next year so consumers will have better access to making cell phone calls.
