I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on Dell laptop. I connected a phone with 3G connection to the laptop using bluetooth for internet. The net is very slow...How can I fix this?? It was pretty fast on windows

wait... what you stated in here is 3G tethering, not Dialup. Which is it? (Dialup is where you have to have your computer dial a phone number in order to connect to an internet server, and has been pretty sparsely seen in the USA since about 2000 :/)– Thomas Ward ♦Nov 28, 2011 at 5:57

the problem is the bluetooth, data transfer via bluetooth is very slow. If the function is available, use USB or better still if your phone is a smartphone, set up a portable wi-fi hotspot. I hope this helps.
