connection question

[QueBert]

I use my cell phone as a modem, I was having an issue where images were looking really dithered in IE (or NS) I hooked my box up to a friends DSL and everything looks fine. I went back to my phone connection and everything looked good. But I realized a minute ago that was because the images were still in the cache.

Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? I am positive Sprint will have no clue how to help. I am not sure if this is an icolated thing because I haven't spoken to anyone (anyone?) who uses their modem across the 3g network as a wireless modem. I would really like to fix this problem though.

Something I found interesting, I right clicked an image on the phone connection, and it saved as 11k, on my friends DSL it was 32k so something, possible sprint's drivers are causing this to compress the images to xfer faster. Any idea how I could fix this?
thanks!

Did they have you install some software that makes the images compressed? I would try another internet browser like opera/monzilla and see what happens.

I installed USB phone drivers (the phone hooks up via USB) and their connection manager software. I made a DUN and same thing. I have tried Netscape same thing. Something I found weird, I got an email with jpg's attached, one was like 64k and when I right clicked and saved it to my desktop it saved compressed already. I thought maybe it was just doing this on web page images, but all images seem to be affected. If it's the drivers, they're simple INI files... well not simple but text files, I was looking through them trying to see if I could find something, but I don't know exactly what to look for

maybe somebody could answer this, is there anything Sprint could enable on their side that would cause it to compress all images? I saw a "compression on" "compression off" line in the modem INI, but I'm thinkin that is just for software compression. If it's not, I don't know the strings that would be added to enable or disable it.
