Hi,
I am having the same problem.
The ZTE MG880 modem that I have, when connected to my laptop (Acer - AMD Turion 64 - 2.0 Ghz), connects at 28.8kbps (connection speed). The wodnload speed is as low as 0.01 kbps. Infact, as mentioned by you, 5 kbps is extremely rare, and I toh consider it fast now . (Ye haalat hai ! )
The modem works fine on my friend's computer (IBM thinkpad - Intel ). As I figured out, this is a peculiar problem to a articular Acer models.

The link that u sent had this to say : ( http://www.rcom.co.in/webapp/Communication..._trouble.jsp#q8 )
AfteReliance Netconnected, OS inform: connection speed: 28.8Kbps.
Cause:
The firmware and client software is too old.
Solution:
* Upgrade the firmware to 25.07.016 or above.
* Upgrade the client software to HOST25.06.016 or above.
And there is no link given whatsoever of upgrading the firmware. It would be good if anyone can provide with a link to the firmware upgrade.
