If you use the Hotspot browser as default, the BB should behave like a normal PC inside the network and your IP should be different.
If you cannot select the Hotspot Browser, you have to ask your Blackberry Service-provider or the Admin of your BES server to remove the Rule which blocks access to the Hotspot Browser.
Note, that stored links and history in the BB also store the network you used when creating the link. If you made a bookmark using the internet-browser, and later launch it from the bookmarks, the BB will switch to the internet-browser, regardless what kind of default browser was choosen.

Wow I did not know that about bookmarks...intriguing!
Just a small thought.
The way I undersatnd it you activate wifi..it find a wifi. Then attempts to make a connection to rims data servers directly(by-passing 3d/edge data networks). If the wifi turns "white" or hightlight a successful connection has been established.
Keep in mind that BIS servers are basically huge ...BES servers with less "sync/push" ability.
Your IP still shows itself as being part of att as Rim's data servers still funnel all data to blackberries(albeit very very compressed) which is why stuff loads fast.
