MTN 3G speed in XP vs. 7

[sitnet]

Hey guys

I have a slight problem here...

I recently Upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate on my desktop. But my Laptop is still running XP. So my problem is that my download speed in Windows 7 is about 250KBPS and in XP it is 45KBPS.

In both cases I am using my Sony Ericsson K850i as a modem and in both XP and 7 it is seen as a LAN modem. So I checked out all the settings on windows 7 and on XP and they seem to be similar... Except that windows 7 has added features like IPv6 etc but that is disabled in any way. And yes, I download exactly the same file from exactly the same place.

So what could the problem be?

Thanx

No can't be that, I can transfer files in XP at well above 400KBps...

I personally think it has to do with the internet settings... Don't know exactly what though.

Thanx for you opinion though, it is appreciated

Under modem control check your maximum speed allowed perhaps?

Which is it?

Assuming your XP is faster than your Windows 7, I have seen this complaint before, but never been able to duplicate it.
Huawei have a 'Windows 7 USB Modem Hotfix' which is available from Vodacom's download page. Nobody seems to know what it does though, perhaps you could try it and report back?
