The PdaNet software only works as a pass-through and does not interfere with speed. So whatever speed you are having is the maximum speed allowed by the device and your service. CDMA networks (Sprint, Verizon or Bell Mobility) allow maximum of 144kbps tranfer speed – twice as fast as a 56k modem. Our benchmark testing and Treo user feedbacks showed that PdaNet could very often achieved this speed in lots of areas. EDGE network from Cingular (Treo 650 only) should also be able go above 100kbps. We were able to get 110kbps download in Our in-house testings. (Treo 650 Cingular user please download the latest refreshed build of version 3.2. It fixes a bug that limits the download speed to 56 Kbps in previous builds.) GPRS service providers for Treo 270/180 or GSM Treo 600 usually boast a maximum 56kbps transfer speed. The actual speed yo
