3G or not 3G?

Here's a wierd thing that happened last week.

Wednesday evening in Glasgow, Scotland - I started the YouTube client on my e72 to watch the latest edition of The Phones Show. Despite showing a full 3.5G signal, the video kept stopping to buffer after just 3 or 4 seconds of playing. After a few attempts to stick with it, I gave up.

Next evening in Edinburgh, Scotland - I tried again. The phone was showing a full 3.5G signal. This time the video played straight through from the start without interruption. 🙄

If you don't know the geography of Scotland, the two cities are about 40 miles (about 70km) apart.

I've noticed that 3G can be a bit funny in Glasgow city centre before, but thought I was imagining things.

Can anyone explain? :con?
