anybody else experiencing a 3g signal today? On t-mobile and i've noticed since about 5 pm i've been getting a fluctuating signal between gprs and 3g. Thought my phone was just twitchy so checked ohs' and he is on virgin and same thing happening?! Tried to download a big file on t-mobile and right enough was much quicker. Is there an upgrade soon? Or just twitchy phone signals today?
No sign of it for me on vodafone I'm afraid.
Virgin use the T-mobile network so maybe T-mobile are upgrading to 3G up here. T-Mobile and Three also did a deal to share their 3G networks so maybe they are expanding that also. Where abouts are you?

You get a pretty strong 3G signal at Wick Tesco/Airport area. I was using an iPhone out there and it was much faster for browsing the web than it was in Thurso.
I think a few of the networks plan to upgrade to 3G up here......about time too.

Im with 02, using an iphone. Ive had a prety strong 3G signal with them since I first switched to 02 about 6 months ago. Have noticed it's poorer up Thurso way tho.

You'll find an explanation of 3G within the biggest library in the world, the library is called 'Google'

I just really wanted a nice short explanation from friends on the web rather than pointed to an area I suppose I coould have search more quickly.
However, that would not have had the fun of communication on the messageboard and feeling I was in a pleasant, informative, social situation.
Thanks anyway!
