Help 0.23mbps download speed on orange 3g+! Rubbish?

Hi

My HTC desire takes ages to load web pages when i'm out and about.

I tested it last week and it was poor. I've put a new orange 3g sim card in the phone and it gets 0.23mbps download speed and 0.38 upload speed.

Do orange restrict the speed in some way?

Do desire users on other networks have better speeds?

Speedtester used was from thinkbroadand.com

Thanks

Paul
 
Erm, I get 3-4Mb/s using speedtest on O2.

At one point I was getting 56Kb/s and it was due to a faulty sim. Got it swapped out and it has been great ever since. Something worth investigating.
 
I've got a new 3g sim in it, plus i have done a factory reset and the speed is still very slow at 0.23mbps!

Orange are looking into it
 
Just done a speed test and the results are 270kbps down and 29 upload but the signal is only on 2 bars so a bit weak
 
Just be thankful you are not on Virgin Mobile in Belfast. Absolutely pants!! They use t-mobile who are linking up with orange in September I was told and things wont improve until then. Perhaps Orange/t-mobile and working in your area for this big link up.
 
The fastest I have ever got with Orange is 2Mbps download.
Has anyone got faster than this? I have seen others on vfone etc get ~5Mbps.
