For one solid hour between 12 and 1 Pacific, angry iPhone owners are supposed to gobble up as much data as they can in an &#8220;attempt to overwhelm the AT&#038;T data network and bring it to its knees.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The discussion on the merits of this bit of disobedience have already been done into the ground, so we won&#8217;t dive into that. The FCC and ATT have already condemned the whole thing, and Fake Steve has back-pedaled a bit to make it clear that the whole thing <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fakesteve.net\/2009\/12\/some-last-minute-thoughts.html\">was intended as a joke<\/a>. Joke or not, its taken off with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/operationchokehold?ref=search&#038;sid=726995222.1691790469..1\">life of its own <\/a>now &#8211; some people are taking this pretty dang seriously.<\/p>\n<p>With all that said, we want to know: has Operation Chokehold affected the quality of your AT&#038;T connectivity? Here in San Jose, CA things seem as good as ever &#8212; that is, they&#8217;re not all that great, but certainly don&#8217;t seem worse than normal.
