how fast?

Hi! I got mobile kit and I am connecting to both verizon (14.4) and my ISP.
Both connections showed 230 kb and both are seems much slower then 50 kb
from land line. Am I missing some settings on Win XP, or is this really 230
kb?
Thank You for any help/advice

The 230 kbps you see is the link rate, the speed between your handset
and computer. The actual speed of Verizon's Quick2Net service is 14.4
kbps, for National Access it averages 50 - 70 kbps.

When you are connecting to your ISP, are you using direct dial to your ISP's
phone number, or are you using #777 for the phone number and connecting over
the network?

If you dial the ISP's number directly (instead of using #777), it will
ALWAYS connect at 14.4 but show whatever speed is set between the computer
and phone (in your case, 230 is the speed between the computer and the
phone. Even at higher speeds it will always show 230)

Thank You for reply. I am using #777 for the quick link 14.4 and my dial-up
number for other ISP. Tech at Verizon told me, that with quick link will
always be 14.4, but my ISP my gave me more, depending on ......
Anyway thank You a lot

You said you had mobile office correct? There are usually two connections
that come with it. QWK2NET and Express (Now National Access but the old name
is still in the software, called something like 'Express Network (1XRTT)').

What phone do you have, and does your plan have the feature on it? Do both
allow high-speed 1X/Express/NationalAccess on them?

Also, where are you at? (East/West/North/South) I'm currently in Vegas at a
hotel. It will be hot tomorrow during the day, and if you want to waste some
free weekend minutes, tomorrows a good day to play with it, and me sitting
in a hotel avoiding the heat (wasting time until evening when it is cooler)
is a good time to try it and work it out.

The #777 is the first step for people that want to use high speed (there are
a few more steps), and also good for people that travel like me and don't
want to keep putting in local phone numbers. However, the #777 ALSO works
just fine for QWK2NET!

PS Be real careful about your wording.. The PACKAGE is called Quicklink
Mobile Office, but has two type of connections, Low speed 14.4 QWK2NET and
Express (Now called NationalAccess or 1X) high speed bursting up to 144. I
see above you typed quick link will always be 14.4, that is **wrong**!
QWK2NET will always be 14.4, but the Express/NA/1X portion of quick link can
be 10 times faster (up to 144). May have just been a
typo/speaking/understanding error tho.

Algumas perguntas mais. Como eu don, t quero usar rede expresso, que
conexão será mais rápido: meu dial-up, ou QW2NET? Além disso, como posso verificar real
