The Cinglular EDGE network is up and running nationwide now, but gives max download speeds of only approx. 160 kbit/sec. Sometime in 2006, Cingular will supposedly roll out HSPDA nationwide, which is an upgrade of the UMTS network that AT&T Wireless deployed in a handful of metros before being acquired by Cingular. HSPDA will supposedly allow for downloads bursting up to 2.4 mbit/sec, though typical speeds will probably be quite a bit lower than that.
Alternatively, you could look at Verizon's EV-DO network, which is online in many cities now and supposedly gives download speeds in the 400-700 kbit/sec range.
