What connection are you having?

I have an bsnl connection

Can you specifically state what do you want to know? Even if you use hindi, it will do.
I am sorry but it is very difficult, for me atleast, to understand your problem.

thats a misunderstanding

when u are using airtel gprs via p.c the speed shown @ the p.c is the phone's max supported speed

if u connect using a normal gprs fone it shows 115kbps
and
if u are using edge/3g phone it shows 384+ kbps

but the actual speed might be 2-8 KBPS ,and thats the speed shown while you are downloading files ....

but still airtel gprs is a lil bit faster that bsnl dialup
