Quote from AT&T press release on same site: "...EDGE offers average data speeds between 100-130 kbps..."

Hardly DSL speeds, moreover this is theoretical - the real speed is often not more than half that...

Actually people that have been using it have said they get between the 100-130Kbps not up to.

You realize this is kilobits per second, right? Not kilobytes. This is HORRIBLE speed for the price, not even close to "dsl speed". Close to DSL upload speed, maybe...lol
