How is it that bbm always seems to go slow every once in a while?!
It seems to work best when only on 2g networking for my torch but surely I should be able to have it on 3g and 2g so i get the best of both worlds!

thats the network, not BBM.

whats your network?

I believe its a bbm issue tbh, quite a few ppl will broadcast/ status update saying bbm is slow.
But anyway im on orange. signed up for the tmobile thing.

BBM does not operate a network data service. It may be going slow because there's something up with the BIS servers though.

the orange network has multiple data issues atm so it is network, trust me
