John,

This post is very appropriate to this group as we are interested in all
wireless net alternatives.  I am an AT&T wireless broadband user and am
interested in what kind of speeds you are getting with your connection both
down and up.  Also, if you haven't already been there, Don Nelson has a site
at http://yourfreeforum.com/hsd that has both AT&T and Sprint message areas.
