None taken. Our pricing structure on the other hand seems to be quite
current and very related to being shaken down. I still don't get the
handset only data plans vs the tethering plans. Isn't data just data, no
matter where it's sent from? Of course if I tether I am not required to
go through my carriers portal. I'm still not coughing up another $60 on
top of my voice plan. I'd still like to figure out a way to use my
handset to dial my included dialup internet access.

No offence to the people in the States, but your GSM network is in the  
stone age. I'd def go for EVDO if I was in the States.

3G + iphone - not so fast

2009-03-10 Thread John Holmblad
All,

maybe some of you have seen this already. but today I came across the 
following utube video which attempts to separate fact from fiction with 
respect to ATT's 3g service when used with the Iphone

According to the video's creator, the unscientific measurement of 
performance was done in an area of Boston, Ma that has a strong 3g signal.
