I just connected there, and my ocenfree connection is reading at 115.2, Maybe this is a flooke. Has anyone else ever seen this?

your modem is connected to the PC at that speed. However, your connection to the internet is on the other side of that.

Its just windows reporting the port speed not the connection speed.
There's strings you can put in to get it to tell your connection speed.

Yes it is, calman. Try using the init string "W=2" in modem config window, that should report the true speed.
