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! -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.

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. |

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.

QUOTE(NikLP @ Jul 22 2008, 12:46) Note that these items are all marked "This offer is available until 31st July 2008"! Not so... "This offer is available until 30th September 2008" but you can not find these pages from the main website, so use the links above! (Deal will probably go missing completely very soon, but it is definitely there at the moment)COMPARE...  This is 5GB a month at £7.50 - nobody else is even close to this offer!

So too
The offer was not there in August - looks like it's back now Just be aware that it only covers 3G and does not drop back to 2.5G out of 3G coverage. T-Mobile to 3Gb for £10/month but that's on a 24 month contract (rather than Three's 18 Months) but does include WiFi Hotspot access. -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes.
