That's the one, thanks - Showing 29kbits/sec = 362 Bytes/sec which isn't that good - about 3G not HSDPA. Also it doesn't test upload speeds which is a shame.

Think I got my calculations wrong! just tried again and got 114 kbit/sec from my Three SIM in my Ameo but only11 kbit/sec from my T-mob sim in my E90

Not sure what's going on!

I think we have to guess that the speedchecker is not very reliable...!

I signed up for this on July 31 (expiry date was Jul 31, but had changed to Aug 31 on Aug 1, but the offer is not longer online).

Received my first bill today - for £15 per month. I called 3 today and was told that it is £15 per month. Luckily I saved the confirmation page as a PDF clearly showing £7.50 per month. I have to fax the confirmation to them. They told me that the offer of £7.50 per month is for existing customers only, and I wasn't an existing customer and so not entitled to the offer.

The confirmation page makes no mention of eligibility for the offer. I will be making sure I get the £7.50 price.

I came across this same problem when I contacted their support line by online chat. There were effectively two offers running at the same time. There was the one for existing customers and there was the one accessible through quidco. I better check the documentation they sent me to check they have got my billing right.

EDIT: Just checked and my first bill is for £7.50 on each account.
