Different data packages:
WAP@cingular.com = MEdia Net
ISP@cingular.com = Data Connect

>Is there going to be a speed difference?

Not raw speed, but Data Acceleration (e.g., higher image compression) is only
available on Data Connect.

>Why will either one login
>using a USB cable to my laptop, but only WAP will work when using

Probably a configuration issue. Both will work over either USB or Bluetooth.

Then you are actually using MEdia Net.

the biggest difference is isp.cingular doesnt use a proxy server so you have
a ip address.
