It’s become clear since the release of the iPhone 3G S that most iPhone owners hate AT&T. A lot. Why is that, exactly? PC World has the answer.

iPhone user AT&T gripes include the (lack of) speed of the carrier’s data network, lack of MMS and tethering (use of the iPhone as a modem), high early upgrade prices, and AT&T’s limits on the development and functionality of iPhone apps (see: Skype and Slingplayer apps.)
