Second Lawsuit Filed Against Apple and AT&T Over iPhone 3G Performance

A second lawsuit has been filed against Apple and AT&T over 3G network performance issues related to the iPhone 3G. The plaintiff, William Gillis, complains that the companies "recklessly oversold the iPhone 3G" while knowing that both the device and AT&T's network could not support fast access for the influx of new users. Gillis claims that speeds do not reach advertised levels and that many people are bumped to EDGE while in areas that should support 3G.
The 18 page complaint reportedly relies primarily on Internet reports of problems as the foundation of its argument.
Gillis is seeking class action status, so that others can earn compensation for sub-par 3G performance. Alabama resident Jessica Alena Smith filed a similar lawsuit last month over what is being termed as a "defective iPhone 3G". Both arguments center around the iPhone 3G's performance on AT&T's 3G network.
