I get just over 100kbps, but that's because I have an N82 and it's Edge only in the US. When I swap my SIM to my N75, I get 400+kbps

Kevin,
you may have legacy pricing because it now appears from the ATT www site
that it is $30/month for the "Data Connect" service. Do you actually get
bit rates above 100kbps in your location? I suspect that the ATT
service, similar to Verizon Wireless's service, will automatically
downhift to GPRS/Edge bit rates (on Verizon Wireless's network it is
referred to as 1xRTT). Maybe ATT had a lower price for those geographic
locations that were not yet upgraded to HSDPA.
