I mean yes it sucks but if they had that extra load they'd probably choke under the bad width. When I was in NYC last month with my iPhone I couldn't even use the AT&T 3G network. It was so sporadic and crashy I switched over to Edge and got better performance. If they can't handle normal iPhone usage over their 3G network in New York City one of the biggest cities in North America how could they ever cover the combined usage of cell phones and PCs on their network? I think the thing AT&T customers really need to focus on is less the hampering of their iPhone product and more the shoddy infrastructure they have to put up with.

Rogers gives us the ability to tether our hearts out. AT&T in the U.S. is a horrible carrier. I was in the U.S. a few weeks ago and their 3G speed is a joke. I'm not surprised that they won't fully support tethering, the network is a disgrace. Luckily, for those of us in Canada this doesn’t apply. Rogers gives us the ability to tether our hearts out.
