I’m happy to say that AT&T has recently installed some 3G towers nearby, giving me nice 3G coverage pretty much everywhere of significance around town.

So I just went through the easy process of jailbreaking my iPhone to tether it to my macbook pro via pdaNet to test the speed of the local network. It works like a charm.

Almost 2mb downspeed and 285 kb/s up speed. Pretty nice indeed! I’m sure sprint users are still waiting for evdo towers to be installed up here and I’m glad I’m no longer one of them. Thanks AT&T.

I might post instructions for setting up tethering on a mac later on. If you can use google, you should be able to find instructions yourself.
