Nonsense. The Nokia D311 the OP is using is a GPRS card that runs at
45kbps, or about dialup speed. A newer Cingular compatible card with
EDGE would run 4x that fast, or about 180k, and as other posters have
pointed out, newer 3G cards on Verizon (or Sprint, or even Cingular's new
3G network) are MUCH faster.
