I did set it up last year, so I am sure my pricing is pretty good. It's not so good that it is the <i>real</i> unlimited data which some people still enjoy.<br><br>I get just over 100kbps, but that's because I have an N82 and it's Edge only in the US. When I swap my SIM to my N75, I get 400+kbps<br>

you may have legacy pricing because it now appears from the ATT www site<br>
that it is $30/month for the "Data Connect" service. Do you actually get<br>
bit rates above 100kbps in your location? I suspect that the ATT<br>
service, similar to Verizon Wireless's service, will automatically<br>
downhift to GPRS/Edge bit rates (on Verizon Wireless's network it is<br>
referred to as 1xRTT). Maybe ATT had a lower price for those geographic<br>
locations that were not yet upgraded to HSDPA.<br>
