Fixed it!
Clearing the Proxy and Port lines of the APN settings did the trick. Pages load in their full glory now.
Thank goodness

Thank you very much Mutantblack for your settings and all others for confirming this issue.
I will now test MMS and a few other settings to see if all else is fixed.

yup, I can confirm. Makes sense, actually, since this ROM was meant for T-Mobile units that don't support ATT 3g. My guess is that the APN was modified to make edge bearable with a flash browser enabled. Good find.

Odd, my new N1 for AT&T/Rogers does not have proxy set in the APN. No wonder the browsing isn't DOG SLOW..

I tried and still have problem

I applied all of the settings changes listed:
Changed APN Proxy,APN Port, and APN Type to not set.

This did not resolve problem for me.

Uh oh...
Copy down your APN settings here exactly (Like I did, a page back) to see if we can see what the issue is.

You sure you cleared your browsers Cache before trying to load the page again?

Clearing the proxy/port worked for me as well. Thanks!

Good find and fix!!

Thanks @Scrtcwlvl! I noticed this issue on a couple of sites, but thought it was a site issue. I guess I have been too busy playing with Flash to care! ;-)

Thanks again!!

Has anyone else noticed an increased number of connection time outs and dead connections? increase as in any at all compared to none?
Not sure if these are related, but possibly taking us off the ATT proxy server may have other less desirable effects.
anyone else? I notice this primarily with gtalk but it has happened in the browser too

I've been playing with this fix. Once I do this, kill all applications and restart Speedtest.net, it completely destroys my upload speed.

It's weird that having the proxy set makes uploads 10 times faster.

At least now I know what was causing my sucky uploads.

So I can choose slow upload, or crappy compressed pictures.

I love AT&T.

I have noticed certainly a greater fluctuation of download speeds since the proxy kill, but my upload has been consistently between 1Mb/s and 2Mb/s.

I've personally stopped using a task manager after reading further into why it doesn't really make a difference and I've not noticed any performance changes. (Compared to always killing everything) other than programs that I ran recently open instantly because they are still open.
(Mileage may vary however, as running your browser with Flash ties down more system resources when minimized.)

Other than the actual connection timeout I experienced, my upload has been fine, just download has been all over the map.
Sometimes as low as 586Kb/s, others as high as 3.5Mb/s. Not just during high hours, but at all hours of the night.

Wish this was the case for me, it's been messed up in Salt Lake for months. Without proxy, I can not upload above 256k.
