I have been connecting to the internet with my '3' PAYG sim for a few weeks now in France, I have had a good connection to the orange network, speeds have been abysmal when trying to connect to any secure https site which made connecting to banks a very lengthy if not impossible process. Motorhomefun is now the same and photographs take forever to appear.
Today I have recharged my orange France sim and connected direct, everything almost instantaneous and I have tried this in 2 different mifi devices so I can say without a shadow of a doubt that connecting to the internet whilst roaming on 3 in France is definitely throttled in some way.
Curiously when I did a speed test on both sims the download speeds where almost the same, around 12 Mb/sec.
