To verify, do you have a wireless internet service with AT&T or an ADSL service with WiFi connection to your PC?
If you have a ADSL connection via cable then WiFi to your PC, check the following:
If your landline telephone service shares the ADSL line listen and see if the line is noisy, (pick up phone, dial just one digit to break the dial tone and then listen carefully for any noise). Be aware the fault could also be in the line socket or even the 'splitter'. Try plugging and unplugging the modem cable from the ADSL line splitter socket, (I assume that you have an inline splitter connected to separate the telephone service from the ADSL service?) and also from the splitter to the telephone line socket, to clean up the connections. A faulty line can ''dramatically reduce'' line speed.
If the line 'sounds' clear and you have a WiFi connection to your PC, download, install and run a free WiFi scanner program such as inSSIder (http://www.techspot.com/downloads/5936-inssider.html) to see if you are "sharing" the same WIFi channel as other WiFi networks in your area. This can also reduce speed. By default most Wireless Modem/Routers select CH 1 or 6 as the default channel. Try changing it to a less "busy" channel and see if the speed improves. (by sharing I mean that you are using the same channel frequency as the other users, not that your PC is sharing files or other info)

The scanner program also shows the signal level of your WiFi. If it is low (remember the ''higher the number the worse it is'' - they are in -ve dB values) it may be that you are experiencing an interference problem. If you are on a laptop try moving it around to different locations to see if it improves the signal strength. If still no good try another laptop (if that is the case - load up inSSIDer on it and check its' signal strength. You may have a faulty WiFi chip/antenna in your laptop
