AT&T to Complete 3G Rollout by June

[retroneo]

with all other users on your mast. So in that sense it is like the Cable market where you share your connection, with the appropriate speed drops at heavy times.

Whilst it is true that bandwidth is shared somewhat, the bottleneck isn't the air interface as you suggest but in fact the backhaul to the base station!

It's easy to get over 5Mbit sustained download speed using torrents with a 7.2Mbit data card in the city. (Telstra Next G - Australia). In rural (i.e. country) areas 2Mbit is doable.

Fantastic! full 3g coverage to use with the new iPhone 3g when it comes out in June..can't wait to get one!

How will this compare to DSL or Cable? Should I dump my crappy Verizon DSL and just plug a USB 3G modem into my iMac for my network's internet access?

Hey, give this a try to see what your speed is. You do not have to live in the UK for it to work (I live in CA).

3G in Boise, Idaho, but not in Des Moines, Iowa. Cold, AT&T. Just cold.

higher prices?

I heard from 2 people arleady that, although the new iPhone will be cheaper that AT&T will raise the price of subscription for the new iphone because of what you need to have on the plan.

is this true?...Because if it is, i guess i would just stick with my 16g iphone and have the new software in ther (you CAN have it for current iphone models right?) Only difference new iphone will have new designe and 3G.

because if my plan will be higher i might i might double think this move.

If you are already an AT&T customer then you will most likely be able to keep your current plan when you get a new phone. Therefore, you would get the iPhone at $199 and keep the $20 data rate. That is the increase being referred to. It is increasing to $30.

Plus another $5.00 for 200 Txt messages which are Included in the $20.00 Edge plan.
