I did have a problem with really long load times, white screen that eventually timed out. Maybe DNS was resetting while I was connecting?

I would also like to know how to check the speed.

go to dslreports.com/mspeed

I do not have the "Cellular Line" under "Comms". I just did the software update though I do not know if I had this before the update either.

Does anyone know where to find these settings if the "Cellular Line" path is not available?

Too bad this doesnt stick for anyone. I don't even want to try it if it won't. It'll end up working real good and I'll be in the registry resetting it alllllll the time

The .exe no longer seems to be up.

Anyone know of another location? ...

(thanks in advance)

You can find it here:

In order to install it, however, you may need to install first, the Microsoft. Net 2.0 Framework, which you may find here

The install is very easy to do.

here's an idea that might help... in the "regular" Windows you can export a key and it is saved as .REG, now if you double-click that file it will write itself to the registry...

i know you can backup with Resco Registry, maybe backup the settings, save them somewhere and 'execute' when you reboot the Q ?

have not tested this... as my browsing goes fast enough.

Essentially this involves a minor Registry edit, changing your Q's default Verizon servers to OpenDNS servers.
The procedure is described here: http://www.qusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4642

Further info: http://www.opendns.com/

The Registry edit is simple and takes seconds. I haven't had a chance to run before and after benchmarks tests, but perceptually it makes web browsing much, much faster.. Your mileage may vary, however..

The only downside I've experienced is that the Registry changes don't stick.. Which is to say that if I shut off my phone, the DNS entries revert to the default entries. Some people get this to stick, others don't.. But again, no big deal.. I turn my phone on in the AM, open my Registry Editor, change the 2 DNS entries and i'm good to go again.. Very simple..

Check it out.. Great fun!!

Didn't change my life, but I think I notice a subtle difference...

I've been wondering this same thing. Has anyone tried it?

If you read the threads you'll see that they're completley different.
