I have at&t and im looking at upgrading my plan so i can tether. Can someone with this service let me know what kind of speed they are getting from AT&T?
Its not too bad. As long as you have good phone service then you should be ok. I use mine for school stuff. The pages take a little long to load than if I were at home on my cable modem, but its faster than dialup.
I think it is pretty bad with the blackberrys since they only pull from EDGE. With 4 out of 5 bars I get between 80-95KBPS- transfer speed... obviously downloading is slower and uploading is far worse. I say get a pc card... UMTS/HSDPA speeds are nice.
i guess ill look at a card because i want to use my phone tethering for web design
man, i'm doing web design on my laptop w/ my bb as the modem and sometimes the connect is good and sometimes it sucks. but being at work for 12hrs i need something because they have so much blocked here i can hardly look anywhere.

I have a BB9700 that is 3G speed. Will that pull from 3G?
I'm on 3G with Verizon. My download speeds vary between 1.3 and 1.9 Mbps down and about 130 Kbps up. I use it nearly everyday, it works get and is included free since I have an Alltel plan
