t-mobile 3G/HSDPA at stratford (wheres it gone) (1 Viewer)

[gazz]

anyone else at stratford onthe net using a t-mobile dongle?

i have been getting a HSDPA signal so far, running at about 2.5 megs download speed,

was like that when i connected a couple of hours ago, but i noticed it was suddenly very slow, and i can only get a gprs connection now,

tried re-booting the pooter, pluged the dongle lead into another port (the dongle is on the end of a 5 meter usb extension lead, which ends in the roof light, so it's outside the metal of the van which blocks signals)

it's bloomin slooooow on a gprs connection, ok, i can remember using my phone as a modem many years ago, think it was a 9.6 k connection, and that was considered good, but it's 2010, i need speed, i want the pages to pop up when i click on them, not chug along for 5 minutes, displaying all the adverts first,
c'mon, what do i pay my quid a day for

never mind, panic over, the end of the world has been averted,

i have my hsdpa signal back again, tho i notice it's fluctuating between 3G and hsdpa,

maybe it's all the other motorhomers here sucking all the good signal away or something.

I used to experience the same at times with T-Mobile and with Vodafone. 3 sometimes seems to drop to 2G when the dongle is inactive (i.e. not actually receiving/sending data) but then wakes up again when there is traffic.

It usually happens when you are on the edge of a good signal area - but according to the T-Mobile coverage map, Stratford Racecourse should be OK all over.

I lost my T-Mobile 3G connection for a while yesterday, in my office where there's usually a strong signal. That blinking ash cloud or all those satellite thingies they keep sending up I suppose.

Likely to be a problem with one of T-Mobile's masts or base stations. Cell phones don't use satellites so aren't affected by anything shot into space - or even ash clouds
