Hi Mary-Ellen, this depends on the kind of cellular network you're using and the way you choose to connect. For example, most GSM networks will let you connect at 14.4 KBPS when you dial another modem. But using GPRS, the high-speed system on modern GSM networks, the speed is more than double that. GPRS is definitely a much better way to go because your cellular carrier in effect becomes your ISP and gives you much faster access. CDMA networks can go even faster still. I have seen over 80KBPS on some CDMA networks.
