02 3G - What speeds should I expect?

[Jay]

I am currently seeing about 73kbps (Kilobits) from the 3G card and my boss is not happy with it but to be honest I have no idea what I should expect to get from it.

Well I can't comment on 3, but I've seen 1.8 on Orange

Just to point out that O2 have come clean with me and told me that their mobile 3G broadband software has a bug and has never been able to connect at full speed to 3G. This is a well know problem (inside O2) and they have a long list of people who they are going to have to compensate.

If you use O2's 3G service give them a call and see what they say. To me that is terrible and my MD is going to the newspapers about it!

If Hexus want it I may be able to get the recorded conversation with O2.
