I think you are not using a pure http connection. Whats the APN that you are using ? Try the APN 'internet'. It does not need any proxies and offers a pure http connection. Not sure it will work on your mobile though, but its worth trying.

That amount will be deducted from your prepaid account everyday while this service is active. You need to deactivate it manually on the same day if you want to use if for one day only.

Thats decent. I normally get speeds of around 15-18 KBps. I have seen some downloads running at more than 21 KBps. I guess its because the subscriber base of Idea in Mumbai is still very low. Whatever it is, I am loving it :)
