See, I've always felt the opposite about AT&T. Occasionally, once every couple of months I'll have a few minutes of it being spotty, or some nights things might be a bit slow on my iPhone, but for the most part it's never been particularly annoying. Actually, I'm usually the one mocking my friends because of their dropping calls and cruddy signals, mine rarely if ever cuts out.
Of course, trying to use the intarwebz on my phone is a pain in the aaaaaaaarse sometimes. Slow and annoying, and considering the tiny screen the sucker has it's usually more trouble than it's worth. If I'm desperate/bored enough or I'm mucking about with simple apps it's not an issue and I'm really grateful for it because it's definitely better than nothing... but if there's nothing important I'm doing I often don't bother.
Here's a thought, though -- I know the internet was a big part of why you got the thing in the first place, but weren't there other reasons too? Watching TV shows, maybe some cool apps you can use that won't be so slow? I dunno, just a thought. If you can find other ways for it to be useful/worthwhile at work even with the shitty connection it could still be an investment...
