o2 Upgraded There Network? Orbit 2

[phil-smith.tk]

Just a quick one for us Orbit 2 owners (or indeed any HSDPA o2 users)

Anyone noticed it seems o2 have upgraded their network?

I seem to be getting HSDPA connections everywhere, where I used to get 3G, 3G where I used to get EDGE and EDGE where I used to get GPRS so everything seems to have gone up a notch.

I don't seem to get GPRS anymore... just EDGE or above.
I only get EDGE at home though :( although 150-300k EDGE isn't exactly terrible on a PDA for free... and until BT get's their finger out it means 150-300k internet on the PC... what I'm posting this on!

Just quite chuffed! :D

i'd agree with you...

I've notice that i generally get hs now and i'm certainly noticing the edge symbol a lot more!

my speed has been great since i phoned up and asked to but increased. as suggested on this forum. just done a test this mornibg.
1452kbps Nice!

Yeh Same for me, I used to get only gprs, and occasional 3g, and now im getting Hsdpa pretty much everywhere, which makes youtube on the go brilliant! :D

Where are you guys from? I'm from Merthyr Tydfil in the south Wales valleys. Bit nervous of changing to O2 yet as I dont know anyone with an O2 phone to check what their 3G coverage is like. According to their website, only Cardiff and Swansea have 3G.

Some parts of Merthyr have 3G. Went up there in the car the other day and got 3G at the VW garage.

Got HSDPA in Abergavenny, but only 2G in Gilwern.

Still only got GPRS in plymouth. Still no HSDPA, but 3G in the city center

DNS resolution has improved markedly in the past fortnight in my opinion. Before I was waiting many seconds to connect to a page (resolve the DNS) but now it is much quicker.

Hi. Yes, I have to agree too. Over here in Northern Ireland, my coverage was very poor - only Edge available in Belfast - and I live about 20 miles away. Then about 3 weeks ago, I suddenly started getting 3G, and last week it changed - most of the time - to H. I checked te O2 website, to discover that there wasn't even any H apparently planned for here. Rang O2 to check if it was just a test, but they didn't have a clue.. Surprise, surprise..

Agree'd,

Great in Leicester, locks straight on to H as soon as I'm near... Very fast! And freeeeeee!! :D

Northamptonshire's main towns are covered, smaller towns are getting there!!

Still no upgrade in speeds here. maxing out around 128kbits/sec. Anyone have any great success with customer services, or is Emma in the Press Office Still the best way to get the upgrade. Has anyone's speed been upgraded without asking?
