Has anyone else noticed that T Mobile seem to limit their HSDPA speeds to that of 3g even when have full signal ?

If you are getting 0.3mb/s you will need Web n Walk Plus which gives you 3GB of use and HSDPA speeds. Costs a little more though

If you buy the phones directly from T-Mobile then this can sometimes be avoided.

When i got my pay as you go iPhone from them, at first internet was capped to about 350kb, with full signal in HSDPA area.

When i got the text to say my free internet has been activated, it shot up to about 2mb straight away..

Seems a little strange for them to limit people and then charge extra to remove the cap - wonder if this is going to get worse with the EE merger .... the 2mb also seems to be a cap that other networks dont enforce, perhaps T-Mobile cant handle data quite as well

Oh mine has gone above 2mb in speed tests, but the average result is around there, which for me is definitely fast enough.

Interestingly on the inclusive 500mb I do get 350k and really that is not I feel very fast at all.
