Very Slow Downloading from iTunes on iPad Mini

Hello:


Having just spent almost £550 on a wifi & cellular 64 gb iPad mini, I thought I was getting something that was state of the art !


However, I discover that the very first movie I pay for and want to download using my wifi connection from iTunes simply will not download on to my iPad mini in anything that one would expect to be a reasonable time. As I write it is Sunday evening and the iTunes download indicator is telling me it will be over 36 hours until I finish downloading this 3 gb movie !


Using the same wifi connection and within a few minutes after giving up with the iPad mini I am able to download the exact same movie on to my MacBook Air in under 30 minutes.


So, I conclude this has nothing to do with the my wifi download speed or anthing else, other than the fact that the iPad mini connection simply does not work at anything approximating to an acceptable standard.


The reason I have purchased the 64 gb iPad mini is so that I can download movies and watch them when travelling. It looks like this is not going to be possible if it is going to take hours and hours to download each movie !


So, other than some kind of self-administered help (which I would be happy to hear about if anybody has solved this problem for themselves), and after having spent a great deal of money on an item which is advertised as being iTunes compatible and being sold as something to watch tv and movies on, I wonder if Apple has yet twigged this glaring inadequacy and are thinking of doing something about it ?


After all, I have spent a lot of money on something that is not doing what I had expected it to do and which it is advertised as being able to do.


Please help me out, Apple, or I might have to return this to you and ask for my money back. Or go to Trading Standards about misleading advertising ? I mean it is wifi, it has iTunes, it has Videos - but I can't really use them in any acceptable way. Why would I spend all that money for something that doesn't do what it says on the can ?


Thanks.


Chris
