What does "getting killed" mean in this context?
GPRS won't be reliably faster than a solid 56k dialup.
Are you in an EDGE area? Does the v557 display an "E" next to the signal

appear prior to my adding MediaMax 200.

In order to make the connection from your laptop, what do you do?

of the Media Max didn't work, and broke your internet access for the phone.
If that's the case, I would call and complain about that.


If the phone works, and the PC doesn't, go to

support. Follow the configuration for browsing the internet from your
phone and make the PC dialer information use the same login.
