just because your phone indicates a 3G connection is available, it doesnt always mean that you are getting the fastest 3G speed that ATT offers... its sort of like an "Up to" statement... ATT 3G is up to ::insert speed here:: times faster than EDGE. You could very well be moving at EDGE speeds on a 3G connection. Think about it like your cable modem when your kids are downloading all day... when you want to use another internet connection in the house, its probably really slow, but you still have a cable modem connection over super duper g or n wifi, or even copper gigabit at 18mbps to the provider... blah blah blah
