It should speed things up a bit.  You might look into squid-prefetch.  If 
you're running a debian-based distro (like ubuntu) you should be able to just

sudo apt-get install squid-prefetch

to install it.  It will not only act as a proxy and cache commonly accessed 
objects (squid's normal behavior) but also pre-fetch pages linked by whatever 
page you're currently viewing.  So, as you're reading the content on AT&T's 
main site, it'll already be downloading the linked pages.

Good luck...
