I now believe at&t service rocks.

I was able to get on the 3g network here in DC and let me tell you its fast compared to Edge. I don’t have EVDO or any of the others so this isn’t a comparison. However, what I can tell you is that speedtest.net marked my speed at 500k on the highway moving at 80mph. Sitting here I am going to run another test now (hotel lobby - not they don’t have wifi that is affordable) : 278ms ping with 581k for download and 141k for upload.

Now I am not saying this is the beat all end all of wireless speed but wow have we come a long way.

I can foresee a very near future where people do not use land line internet but instead pair their laptop with their phone using bluetooth or some other technology and surf the internet wirelessly from anywhere at any time.
