That's because HR is a rural area, city boy. 
I had a phone with AT&T service that had pretty good speed/reception last year.
After a while I realized that it was just another technological ball and chain. Funny
how many people spend more time looking at their phone than the world around
them. |

yeah!! those pesky phones! My life would be soo much easier without a cell iphone!!
ummm, wait a minute, no it wouldn't. I can't believe how much more efficiently I can mange things with my iphone. Like any tool, its all in how you use it. I'm sure you could miss out on plenty of stuff in the world programing that CNC machine of yours.
It would be nice throw all that stuff away but in today's world, most people have become accustomed to staying in touch and having easy access to information. It sounds totally stupid and cliche (especially since I'm not a mac user) but the iphone truely is the coolest and most useful technology I have acquired in a long time. |

Judging by your reference to 3G I'm assuming you mean mobile, but if you're looking for dedicated residential Internet these guys have been more reliable for me than that other popular Hood River ISP:

Check out the Google phone. Similar stuff to iphone without Big Brother Apple limiting the applications you can put on it.
