also some phones, such as my LG 8100 from verizon, have PC connection speed settings in the phone setup menus
----speed on the wireless card is determined by cingular tower and out of my control.
if these are set to 19k or 34k , it is NOT possible to get full high speed NO matter what the other software is set too
----not an analog modem where you can control these settings.
I use a verizon cellphone and i have used & setup verizon aircards
windows treats them like any other modem, in modem properties you can change the BAUD rate / speed, if it is NOT at max you will not get max speed
and with the Verizon digital products, (cell phones & aircards )( especially cellphones ) there are menus for PC connections and the speed for those connections
cingular GSM & edge are different technology, than Verizon's CDMA & EV-DO but there should be diagnostic or setting software available for it
