3.5G on O2 since FW v20!

I doubt I'm the only person to notice this, but as I hadn't seen it mentioned, I thought I'd share. 😊

Since changing to a euro product code and upgrading to v20, I've been able to get 3.5G on my N95. Despite O2 saying that it's only being tested in parts of London at the moment(I'm in Basingstoke, Hants).

For all you guys on Vodafone, I guess it's old news, but I'm loving it! Just did a speedtest on mobilespeedtest.com and I'm getting 4.3mb/sec. Nice. 😎

That website doesn't sound too convincing, I just ran a test and had a 5.44Mbps on normal 3G 😊

hi rottie, i was taking the figure at the bottom of the results, rather than the main number. The 'you can download from our servers at...' number. Where you doing the same?

Does anyone know of a reliable test for 3G download speeds?

i noticed this last night when i was trying to send an MMS message. didn't know it was being tested.

i know this is off topic Judders but does your MMS work?

I'm suprised it's so experimental, i'm on t-mobile and I get 3.5G almost everywhere that I get anything more than GPRS. I can barely remeber what it looks like to have just 3G :biggrin:
Must be that T-Mobile are on the bleeding edge, which makes my decision to go with them for my N95 all the sweeter

Hook it up to a PC as modem and check out somewhere like PCPitstop.
And I too, find T-Mo's network and service pretty good.

Saucer of milk for the gentleman in the corner. 😉

Yup, works just fine. Haven't noticed if it's using 3g or 3.5g though. I'll find an excuse to send an MMS and check which it uses.
