Quickly and easily send and receive e-mail and access the Internet on AT&T's 3G High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) BroadbandConnect wireless network. AT&T is the first U.S. carrier to deploy enhanced upload speeds through High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) in its HSPA network. Users who travel outside of a 3G coverage area seamlessly fall back to the EDGE network, the largest national high speed wireless data network in the U.S.
It offers tri-band UMTS/HSPA (850/1900/2100 MHz) and GPRS/EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) compatible, making it easy to connect in more than 140 countries--including Japan and Korea. You'll enjoy enhanced 3G performance with typical download speeds between 600 Kbps and 1,400 Kbps and typical upload speeds between 500 Kbps and 800 Kbps. The faster download speeds provide an optimal wireless Internet-browsing experience, and the faster upload speeds will enhance users' ability to send large files, such as e-mail with attachments, photos or business documents.

The product itself is not bad. Hope AT&T will improve 3G connection anywhere in the States. .

Reviewer: blst "64blk" (Boston, MA) -
The product works fine on Vista and the connection manager software (at&t communication manager) does not interfere with other software. Connection to the network is relatively smooth compared to CDMA (= Sprint).
However, I would like to see much more improvements regarding to the depth of 3G coverage of AT&T. As I did trials of Sprint, I have to say that the depth of coverage of 3G by At&T is not better than Sprint at present. They do cover the area they disclosed on their web site, but probably the no of base stations are relatively limited and the reception is very light in many areas although the weak 3G signal CAN be received. Economic situation is no good and the network investment can be easily reduced under the current condition, but we need to see stronger reception of 3G to justify the expensive monthly charge. Otherwise, the current EDGE network seems to be providing very similar network speed and capability. There is no strong economic reason to buy and pay expensive monthly fees for 3G service.
Not a realistic option for mac users

On top of the fact that you have to google for the connection info to type into the configuration screen, there's no native OSX drivers for this card, so you're forced to use the buggy and downright evil software from card maker Option Wireless.
Their software turns off all other connections on your mac when you connect via the card, presumably to prevent people from sharing their internet connection with others via WiFi.
There doesn't appear to be a way to make the card work like any other modem, and due to the way the software works currently (it's doing some weird proxying, the connection appears as an ethernet adapter, not a modem) I doubt that Apple will bother to fix the mess that Option has made.
I'm returning this, and buying a verizon or sprint card.
