How do you accelerate web browsing when connected to the internet by GPRS thru a mobile phone?

I am using my mobile phone's GPRS connection to connect to the internet thru a USB cable connected to my laptop. However when I browse the web I don't get the speed indicated in the network icon and it seems like the data received %26amp; sent is intermittent.|||I have the same deal and it appears to be related to how much the phone companie's network traffic is at any given time, as well as how good of a mobile phone connection that you have. Mine seems to never transfer at the 115Kb that Windows is indicating it is connected at. It could also be appearing slow because you are used to having a much higher speed connection and now are faced with a much slower one. The intermittent is likely because web pages are coming over in bits and spurts which have to be assembled by the browser before it can display anything. Bottom line though is that if you are getting anything through this connection it is more than nothing which is what you have if you are not connected by copper/fiber/cable modem/wireless router.|||All GPRS connections are not equal. For instance, T-Mobile is pretty much 56k (in my area). But, Verizon is about the speed of DSL. There maybe some configuration options in the properties of your network neighborhood for this connection. Look for performance or power save. Many of those cards come with optimal powersave which can affect performance.
