O2 3G HSDPA 7.2Mbps HSUPA 2.1Mbps,
I wasn't sure where best to post this but decided to do it here given O2 supplies the UK iPhone. I'm still holding out for a 3G iphone before purchasing but decided to give the above mentioned service a go as it will be, no doubt, the same service extended to the 3G iPhone. Of the 7.2Mbps down, 1Mbps seems to be the norm and from 2.1Mbps upstream, just 400kbps. What bothers me the most though is the poor quality of images displayed on web pages - for instance, iTunes looks awful on O2 3G due to compression. When i asked O2 about it, i was told it's down to browser preferences (I'm using Safari) which at first sounded ridiculous until I considered that perhaps Apple web pages detect the 3G connection, classify it as Mobile and then deliver compressed, low res images to the web page. What do you think?
