4) Browsed successfully!

I tested using Speedtest (download max: 2103 Kbits/s, upload max: 850 Kbits/s), browsed TiPb, used Qik, Twitterific, etc... all seemed to connect fine on Wifi :-)
thanks for sharing . it works

Ok, I did the free iPhone wifi on att and it really isn't that bad at all! I was online in less than a min. Pretty good connection speed too!

I took screen shots of the 5 step process if anyone wants to see:
att free iPhone wifi, that took like 33 seconds | When Will Apple?

So I guess the key is to wait for the sie to redirect. I was at a Starbucks in the financial district (NY) and connected to the attwifi network but was never able to get a page to display. I will try at a different location tonight or tomorrow.
