Help: UK 3G Issue with Three

[dpcthomas]

Hi, I'm new to this forum but having some issues with my 3G connection.

I went with 3 for my network with the Nexus as they offer unlimited internet and tethering as standard which I was going to use more with the Nexus than my old phone. However since getting the Nexus home although the 3G absolutely works the speeds I'm getting are rubbish.
Speedtest.net app is showing about 250kb/s whereas on my old HTC Desire HD on EE i was getting up to 5mb/s.

This isn't just in my house it is out and about, is there any chance I may have a hardwear issue or is this just the network? Three say i should have good signal and the phone is showing full HSPDA signal...

Anyone able to help?!

Otherwise thoroughly enjoying my first Nexus device

Only way to check would be to try the 3 sim in another phone see what speeds you get.

I can confirm (as you already know) that something is not right.

I'm on O2 UK and the N4 is on HSPA 10 and I got between 5600 and 6200 Kbps in 3 tests just now.

At least I can confirm that the N4 is capable of decent speeds on UK networks.

EDIT:

This maybe nothing but for some reason my N4 had defaulted to Tesco UK in the APNs, it may be worth checking that these are set up correctly.
