However what I want to point out is that the 150kbps is possibly the bandwidth that you get on the CDMA network itself and not necessarily the bandwidth yu get on the internet. Howerver on another point, I saw a client who had such speed problems and it turned out that they were related to Service Pack 2 on windows XP and he was given a fix for that and his speeds improved greatly. At the same time, always remember that you're sharing the CDMA network with both voice and ip and voice tends to have a higher priority than data. Thus at times of peak contention,it is likely that higher priority will be assigned to the voice traffic than the ip traffic.
