And T-Mobile has good 3G service in just about all the major cities now, and is rolling it out to the rural areas (and they are rolling out 21 meg HSPA+, which is the best 3G in the nation).

GSM is still better than dial up even without 3G though. You still get EDGE pretty much everywhere, which is usually around 250-300k or so. So it's not like a real broadband speed, but it's still way better than dialup.

Well T-mobile's service was a joke for me here in Atlanta. No service in the house, edge speeds in most places.
