Looks like you've lost HSPDA speeds and gone down to 3G. Have you tried calling T to see if HSDPA is still enabled on the account?

haha wow! Just realised Pete, your the same person who helped me get HSDPA activated on my account via PM! Thanks! hehe

It always had a very bad name in the south west, it is a bit patchy in Devon/Somerset. I would think any network is going to work well in Bristol though.

ah that sounds rubbish. It also explains why I can never ever download anything from rapidshare.

Anyone else had any luck with it?

Cheers

Weird, if I send a mail to 447973xxxxxx@t-mobile.uk.net, it comes thru to my phone.

First time i've seen this?

Any deets at all about what this will entail?

t-mobile have a slightly different way to operating their HSDPA network (incidentally, O2's is about the most dimuinitive hsdpa network in the world)

the way t-mobile s network is setup, the phone will display 3g coverage whenever it has it. only once data is actually transferred on the network will t-mobile up the data transfer speed and switch you to a hsdpa connection. this allows a considerably larger number of users to be connected to a mast at once, and lets more devices transfer data at the faster rate because devices not transferring data will not be connected to the faster network

i have only ever had hsdpa when in a 3g network, at it generally performs at aroumod 900KBps-1MBps (this is with a HTC TyTN II)

I'm on the lowest WnW too but having just called customer services, they tell me they're unable to disable/reenable HSDPA as it comes as standard on my talkplan (Flext 35 + WnW 12 months). They say the only way they'd be able to do it is move me to a different talk plan which doesn't have HSDPA as standard and then back again. Is this a case of having to just call a number of times before I speak to someone who is able to do this?!

They do change their minds. When the original £7.50 W'n'W came out (I'm not talking about the 40/100Mb versions before that) it did not have HSDPA enabled but the 'Pro' version for £10 did. Some people managed to persuade them to add HSDPA to the std version but it was very hit and miss but at that time very few phones (only the vario II IIRC).. Then they clarified the rules and introduced the three versions on W'n'W we have today - again std did not have HSDPA but the other 2 did but still some lucky people managed to get put through to a techie who would enable it on Std.
This gradually became widly known to the point where everyone seemed to be getting it so as from October 17th T-Mobile specifically stopped HSDPA on Std so you *should* not have it on W'n'W Std if added since Oct 17th.

That's not to say they can't add it and maybe there are still techies who are still unaware of the situation who will add it for you.

As always, this is only my 'interpretation' of the situation and I could be talking total b*ll*x - so if anyone knows better please feel free to correct me.

W'n'W standard does not have HSDPA enabled, you need W'n'W Plus.
