Operation Chokehold

iPhone users beware:If you thought you're AT&T service was bad already, it could be getting even worse for the next hour or so thanks to Operation Chokehold. Angry about claims of shoddy service & AT&T's recent statement that it may start charging data hogs more for the bandwith they use, Dan Lyons (a Newsweek writer who operates a blog under the alias of a fake Steve Jobs) is attempting to organize an army of frustrated iPhone users to "bring (the AT&T network) to its knees". The call to arms:

"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!"

So how's your iPhone performing this hour? The majority of use here own one so we're all anxiously watching what happens. Will Operation Chokehold work or just fizzle out?
