The funny thing?

They said, "Have you switched to the T1?  It feels like we're on the
T1."  When I said, "No, you're actually running on my PHONE," they were
like "Seriously?  It can do that?"---not that I can blame them for
asking that question.  I figured everybody would be up and running at
dial-up like speeds, but I was wrong.  It really did feel more like the
T1, with a little extra speed.  3G works great with a strong signal and
when stationary...
