Wtf!!

I just ran a test on my tmobile N82: 959kbps
Then with my o2 sim; 124kbps

Harsh, both displayed 3.5g

So this explains why my internet is so slow on my n95? Cheeky gits, definately going to ring them up about it!

Has anyone ran a speed test to see if they really have rectified this?

LOL sounds like the 3G masts cannot handle the throughput. They can only handle a certain amount, could be more and more people are using 3G and it is struggling, seeing as O2 are one of the largest UK networks
