I know that, but i want to know the difference between the data connect and media max being that they both are 3g. And how is the connect like compard to the older edge connection.

supposedly with data connect, you're on isp.cingular.net whereas with media plans, you connect to wap.cingular.net and is slower.

however, you can go mediamax and manually change your connection settings to the isp but run the risk of getting "flagged."

i've tried both and didn't see any noticeable speed changes.

3g is way freaking fast compared to edge.
