How fast is your GPRS connection? Go to
http://www.2wire.com/support/index.html and at the bottom of the page there is a Bandwidth Meter link. Click it and it will show how fast the connection is.
You must be using your phone as a modem to your PC.
Of course there are factors to consider, such as location, etc. Anyway,
My results:
1. Toshiba Tecra 8100 + Win XP Pro + T68 + DRS-10 + Smart network yields 34.3 Kbps (average of 3 tests)
2. Toshiba Tecra 8100 + Win XP Pro + Nokia 8310 + Infrared + Globe network yields 31.5 Kbps (average of 3 tests)
What's yours?

I think that there will not be big difference between the operators. I don't know about operator who implements higher coding scheme in his network than 12 kbit/s for one channel in GPS mode. The t68 theoretically know to use the faster coding schemes, but there is no operators now for this. If you use HSCSD mode then you abe to use (with newer nokias) 3x14.4 kbit/s in downlink direction. Unfortunately the new ericssons cannot able to use 3 channel downlink. Only use 2 channels
( In HSCSD mode the nokias better solution at this time

Pentium 3 500mhz laptop, Win2000 pro, TDK Bluetooth PC-card, T68m, NetCom GPRS, average speed: 28.8 kb/s... This really sucks! Any suggestions on WHY I can't get any faster connection???

HEY!! Does it take a lot of time to check the connection? it's been more than 35mn and it says nothing till now...
Plus, does a firewall affect the checking system?!?!

35 minutes???!!! I think you should close your browser and try again
Yes... Maybe the firewall is the reason... I used Norton Internet Security 2002 under my test, and it was not a problem at all.
If you can "shut down" your firewall for a while, you should try that when you are testing your bandwidth... But remember to "set up" the firewall afterwards

Possible reason of the lower speed: the operator is limiting the useable GPRS channels, there is no free channel for 3 downlink GPRS (the speech has higher priority), other guy in the cell use GPRS too.
