3g is broadband it is above the 768k that the FCC defines as broadband. and ugh, its better than nothing. But then again you just wanna complain about a merger that you can't do anything about because of "options" not being what you want. If you want more "options" move to get that HSI that you want.
Here in Evanston, my t-mobile 3g is between 1.5Mbps and 3Mbps. it definitely is broadband. -- sbcglobal.net speedtest result 11/11/09 - 5256kbps
