While listening to Malcolm Wan Pete heard:SMARTLINK V32TERBO

G'day Malcolm

change this to %C2 and see what happens

 MW> that? 

%C1 is MNP5 compression which when DLing already compressed files
slows things up quite a bit because it tries to recompress already
compressed files, using %C2 tells the modem to use V42bis compression
which is smarter and steps aside if the file can't be compressed any
more. The reason the Netcomm is slower would be that it has been
configured to allow both MNP5 & V42bis compression, the others are
more than likely configured for no compression or V42bis only, as your
requesting MNP5 compression via the %C1 command the Netcomm is only
giving you what you ask for. If your modem doesn't support %C2 then
just turn off compression with %C0
