some background info usually helps a bit

but from your other post looks like you are using a T610 on Meteor? what GPRS access point are you connecting with - for use with a laptop you need to use a 'full internet' (usually called Internet or ISP by the operators) not a WAP access point

been trying to get ISP set up on Meteor but last time I tired was told that it wasn't available as yet, just WAP and MMS... will try again during the week - unless any other Meteorites have got ISP set up for their account?

the speed you get in the system tray is only what Windows tries to determine and in the case of connecting to a handset can just be the speed between the handset and computer - i don't expect much more than around 30 kbps for a GPRS conneciton

The 115.X kbps speed is most likely the connection speed between your phone and PC - not the GPRS download speed.

If the APN checks out, just make sure you have the right DNS settings for your operator in the browser.
