smonster,
you might need a new router.

Before you get a new router, smonster, have other wireless devices been able to connect speedily?

No - amyth's laptop was slow connecting, although she doesn't remember having problems as drastic as I have with mine. My computer is slow, but it's also old and increasingly brick-like. I don't have any other wireless devices currently on the network.
I've also wondered if it could be a problem with the actual cable connection, since I have issues with my cable tv as well. I need to talk to my friends in the neighborhood and see if they have the same issues.

Hey. New board.
For those of you with jailbroken phones, what program do you recommend after the break?
I liked xGPS a lot (mostly just for downloading google maps offline) and some of the SMS Quick Reply stuff. Backgrounder is AWESOME if you want to listen to Pandora while doing other things or leave Skype open to receive a Skype call (a nice perk when I was in Canada operating on wifi only). But the thing I actually miss most since I upgraded my iPhone software and lost my jailbreak is the SBSettings panel that comes by default on jailbroken phones - being able to swipe across the top and easily toggle 3G or WiFi on or off is incredibly convenient.

Sorry, wasn't clear. I don't mean stuff you added, I mean the program to access the phone, like Customize. Are you saying that if you upgrade your software, the jailbreak goes away?

Hey. New board.
Oh. I went the Cydia route. I don't know what Customize is, but if that's the standard Cydia app/store, then that's what I used. It was nice, almost as easy to use as the iTunes app store, though there are a LOT of graphical themes in it which sometimes makes it hard to find real applications.
When you install the jailbreak (I used yellowsn0w to do it), it gives you the option of installing Cydia, Icy, or both. I think they're competitors that do basically the same thing. Cydia is a bit more established than Icy, I gather.
Does that answer the question?
ETA: After some googling, it looks like Customize is a specific program that you use to change the look of the phone: it lets you modify icons and change message stringsand such. I never played with that, being fairly happy with the iPhone interface as is. So... basically, I still don't know if I've answered any questions. Sorry.
