| Crap It's all CRAP.
You know why?
I have two phones, a personal Iphone that I pay for and a business phone, a HTC 8525, and you know what? I'm watching my Slingbox HD right now on my HTC 8525 over AT&T's 3g network. I'm getting a brisk 1956kbps connection over the 3g and its working just fine, the picture looks great for such a tiny screen. No halts, no drop outs, and I only have 4 out of 5 bars. (I live in Houston, TX)
AT&T are a bunch of opportunistic LIARS. This is a double standard from AT&T and its bullshit. There are about 300,000 Iphone owners with Slingboxes and they are spread out all over the US. (this info came from Slingcommunity.com and I acknowledge that the data could be sketchy, but no one over there is refuting the number so I think it may be close.) This is a total non-issue on over utilization and as far as I am concerned, until AT&T actually lets users use this Slingbox app on the 3g network and we actually see the network fail. Otherwise I am going to claim that this is purely an anti competitive move from AT&T. We need net-neutrality laws like ASAP. |

| I also forgot about about Orb. So this is actually a TRIPLE standard from AT&T since Orb is allowed on the iphone with 3G and AT&T blessed it and it does exactly the same thing. In fact, you can use your Slingbox with Orb. A quick Google search shows me this.
AT&T, you fail. |

| Not if you edit the settings file. It's really not that hard. Google it. But you are correct. Without editing it does cap at 512kbps, I forgot that I modified mine ages ago. (like over two years) |
