    This connection plan is the plan for my iPhone. In the Twin Cities it's mainly 3G anywhere I go and I get full bars and about 1.5mb down and 350k up. They added 3G in my hometown of Alexandria MN so it's been very sweet (if I wasn't such an internet hog I'd probably drop charter cable internet and save some money.)

    Overall I'm actually impressed... I can listen to pandora on my iphone from the Twin Cities all the way to Alexandria without any interruptions.

    After having At&t dsl crap out on us for awhile, and switching to Charter cable, I went to At&t for wireless internet (It also helped keep my At&t email addresses, as I switched them to my wireless account). While the dsl was bad, At&t 3g is pretty decent!

    Iphone gets really bad latency, and 1.2 mBit speeds, but hspa usually gets decent latency (That comes at the price of the 5 gig cap). Hspa is usually the better service, but Iphone 3g is unlimited, so I obviously use it more.

    As far as phone service, it's surprisingly one where I hardly ever lose connection. I've had plently of phones lose connection at random times, but this one may lose connection once every couple of months (Although when it does, it can be out for 30 minutes or more)

    All in all, a good service, but the cap is really damn low, and the networks are already strained as it is.

    UPDATE 7/4/2009: Speeds are great, so I'm upping the value for money. Here are around my peak speeds (Normal speeds are around 1-2.5 megs):

    I already had contracts with AT&T for 15 cellular lines so just added this one one - didn't really comparison shop. The install drivers which are on the device (Sierra Air Card HSDPA) from ATT manage all wireless connections including wifi which I did not like, so I used the Sierra drivers (download free from their site) to more effectively manage my connection.

    It is fast enough to watch Netflix and hulu.com and youtube. Does everything I need it to do in the parking lot, inside a firewalled connection area, and when I need a more private connection.
