Can anyone explain to me why a Cingular aircard doesn’t have good connectivity when it is ran via cell towers

I live approx. 3 miles from the “edge”…to me, if cell phones work “everywhere” why can’t an aircard do the same? I cannot download music, watch videos, or even news clips because I am “on the edge”. This does not make sence to me. Basically, I pay 3 times, than most people, for a service that is no better than dialup. Please help me understand. OR better yet, tell me what I need to do to correct this. FYI, I have a brand new Toshiba laptop, with the Vista program.

DSL question?

I am forced to get rid of cable because the price went up to $47.95.Thats rediculous!I have never had DSL and see one plan that claims “up to” 1500kbps for $32.95.I did a speed check of my cable and it was running at approx 2700kbps.I know Im not going to be happy but is there anyone that has DSL and can tell me if my regular speeds will likely be much slower?If its going to be slow as molasses,then I may as well just save and go for $10.00 month dialup.Thanks
