Heh...I've been using the Tmobile GPRS network for the past couple of
weeks now (the roommate decided the cable bill wasn't all that
important apparently), and I'm elated when I can hit 100kbit/s
down...usually hovering somewhere around 30-40kbit/s down. I'm also
limited to just web, email, and AIM. IRC ports are blocked (yes, I
know I could set up a proxy, but without 'net in the house....), so
I'm going through some withdrawals there :(
