I was in the barber shop today and was doing the usual activity of browsing BBC News, The Register etc and it was all loading relatively quickly. Then I look up and find that the device is on GPRS, Giffgaff GPRS. There's only outdoors 2100MHz at this location (Old O2 mast) so this is not surprising, but the fact data was working certainly was!
However, the phone in this case the giffgaff phone was my Bluebird Pidion BIP-6000 with Windows Embedded. This does not have apps per se and therefore does not send/receive any background data, so all is available for the web browser.
I then pop the Giffgaff sim in my S5 and can't browse the websites at all, even with images off. However, I look at device bandwidth and it's happily sending and receiving background data which appears to be using all the bandwidth up!
