Hi everyone! I am a new member. My ZTE Valet is extraordinarily slow loading pages on the internet. I have added air cards, maybe 3 since I bought it and I have 1546 Mb of data from lack of use, just to give you an idea. I was able to work around the fact that the internet would not even work outside the house. Any ideas how I can speed up the load times on the internet. The phone seems like it has some of the same attributes as other Androids, so I am confused and aggravated on this. Thanks for any help.

Using Wi-Fi mine takes about 20 secs to open Google. Once open pages load in less than 5 secs.
This is a low end device so you can't expect it to behave like an Iphone (although I've never used an Iphone).
I think it works well for basic stuff like syncing my Google calendar and to see what email is waiting although I generally don't open email on the device.

Matt, you are NOT alone...browser performance is terrible for everyone. Even on my 40Mbs wifi connection, pages often fail to load in Google Chrome. The stock browser is only a bit faster. I know some have tried Opera and some other lite-weight options but I'm not sure anyone has found a satisfactory solution.
