From my limb, I'd suggest a couple of easy checks;

If your provider is PPP be sure the VJ compression is off in DOIP.

If your only AT command is &F1, you can almost bet you are not going to 
get optimum throughput.  Check the modem setup.

Confirm the various buffer sizes with your provider.

(For others, Confirm that your modem has 16,550 UART.  If it's an 8250, junk it.) 

Very frequently, you will want to turn OFF compression on your modem.  Since 
the only large files are already zipped, there is little to gain.  The relatively 
small packets normally used on the net don't benefit from the additional 256 
bytes of translate table appended to each, and sometimes this throws off the
byte count at some sites.  It is a server bug, but that's a subtle problem, and 
few ISP's will confess to buggy s/w.
