3G Internet Really Slow

Hello,


The 3G internet on my iPhone 5S is really slow and on occasion doesn't connect at all until I turn data off and then back on again (sometimes having to turn the phone off to get it to work) which is really annoying although the SIM card seems to work fine, any help would be appreciated.


Many Thanks

Jordan

Have you tried measuring the 3G speed? The free app speedtest.net is an accurate way to do it. Note that cellular data speeds are very sensitive to signal strength, and 3G itself isn't all that fast at its best. If it tests above 1Mb/sec that would be considered very good.


Usually speed issues are more network related than phone related.
