How can I get PC Suite to connect my modem at the full HSDPA speed?

I have USB connection to N95 and am definetely in coverage as 3.5G is displayed, but PC suite keep connecting at 115.2kbps, not 1.4MBPS

The connection speed that your PC (Windows) reports has NOTHING to do with the speed at which data is transferred between phone and internet.
The "115.2kbps" that you see is the maximum port speed set in the modem setting in WinXP (check properties on the actual modem in control panel....) which is the speed at which communication programs send data to the modem.

More info? Read here at Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/sag_modeconcepts_204.mspx?mfr=true

Also note that there is a difference between 'kb' and 'KB' (KiloBit vs KiloByte where 1 Byte = 8 bits).
