Strangely enough, the only complaints I've heard about t-mob GPRS (aside from
whininess about the 800ms latency typical of GPRS) involved a protracted
effort, eventually successful, to get them to understand that having
*something*, *anything* in the in-addr.arpa for their address pool was a Good
Plan...  and that was a year or two ago.

whilst in miami i found roaming onto t-mobile to be less than useless (att was 
barely any better altho i could dial on att). gprs on both networks was slow and 
kicked me after a couple minutes of being connected, however i could ssh albeit 
briefly!
