Help Att blocking hotspot access?

I experienced the exact same thing at a Barnes & Noble with a Starbucks cafe and AT&T hotspot.

Any web page access took me to a B&N portal page that never would load completely. Clicking on the banner to "connect" which you'd suspect would then allow full access actually didn't seem to do anything.

I turned wifi off, switched to 3G and just did all my browsing that way. Pages loaded several times faster in 3G than the B&N portal page did on wifi.
