I knew the network was slow but I didn't realize I was connecting at 10 - 20kb most of the time! Slower than dial-up :-(

I'm pretty sure that iNetworktest for iPhone measures speeds in KB per second, not Kb per second. That's an 8x difference, so it's probably not slower than dial-up.

I hope and pray that Apple uses this "EXCUSE" to pull it off the shelves @AT&T stores, stops the partnership with AT&T, and DOES "EXPAND" its distribution to more carriers. This AT&T thing is a loosing proposition and Apple will see this. Especially after this new release of the 3g iphone and all the demand for it--if just in the USA!! AT&T are pigs of the phone industry and everyone knows it. It's real sad that the USA is one of only very few (probably the only country) that locks their phones to specific carriers....... Free enterprise, I guess, but a joke at that.

I'm the IT guy for my company, and was in charge of moving our phones over to IP. I picked AT&T, because a previous 'false start' using Covad was, at best, a nightmare.

The move did not go smoothly. It took close to six months to bring the service online without errors, and close to a YEAR before we received billing without any errors. My boss (and owner of the company) implied several times that I must have been on crack when selecting AT&T. I was even beginning to doubt my own judgement on this one...

AT&T: to big - one division doesn't know what another division is doing. So this flip-flop on Wi-Fi access doesn't surprise me in the least.
