The speed you get depends on what data service you're using. If you use the GPRS, also called EDGE or EDVO on other services, it's pretty fast. I don't know how to test the speed of my connection with the BN but it's fast.
You can also use a dialup style connection if you pay for something called, "CSD" which means "circuit swithed data." This plan, aledgedly only about $4.00 per month, will allow you to use your phone as a dialup modem and you can use a standard dialup call.

Mine is set to use MediaNet, and I believe Rusty's is as well. I have an unlimited data plan, so as you said, this may have something to do with this. Also, what model are you using?
