Phone with fast 3G

Hello,

I need to buy a second hand phone. My only criteria is fast 3G and cheap. . I get 15mb on my iPhone 5s on three. When I use the same SIM card in a Sony Ericsson arc I only get 4mb.

Many thanks

Tom

If you were looking for a cheap phone with fast 3G I would suggest the Motorola Moto G:

8GB Model on Amazon

16GB Model on Amazon

It has HSPA+ so can download up upto 21mbps (that all depends on the network though).

It is a great phone for the price.

I'm guessing the reason the Sony Arc was a lot slower that it has HSPA and not HSPA+.

It would be even faster with a phone with DC-HSPA+ (upto 42mbps) but you will have to pay a lot more for the phone and also the network has to support it (the phone uses dual cell (2 masts) to give you up to double the speed)). The iPhone 5S has this so that's one of the reasons it could have been a lot quicker than the Sony.

Mark.
