Mobile Industry Review: o2 iPhone customers: Upgrade to 8GB iPhone free*

  • Mike42 · 1 year ago
    Any existing o2 customers like to comment on the current 3G coverage/performance?

    No point in having a swanky device if it can't connect....if (rumours being correct) they were capping 3G users at 128kB previously, what will the i3G mean for the network?

    It was still quite annoying watching Steve on stage doing that speed
    demonstration....

    *Does a 'Mobile Speed Test' on his 3.5G N95 on O2*

    119 kbit/sec

    Not sure if thats good or not..

    It's passable

    I get 93kbit/sec on Three in central London (3G on an E61)

    I must admit though, I can't stop wondering about that whole O2 3G speed debacle. I'll be comparing the speed on my old an new iPhone's when I get one. And if O2 customer services call me a 'technie nerd' when I ring to complain I won't be happy...

    I just want it to be reasonably fast.
    3G isn't generally fast enough for my tastes -- whether it's on 3, Vodafone
    or whoever. I like fast wifi.

    You're in luck then - O2's adding BT Openzone Wifi to the Cloud offering they currently include.
  • jonmul · 1 year ago
    Adding BT Openzone to the free wi-fi part of the tarrif should make you happy then.

    Just thought of something - there's got to be some sort of browser id hack you could pull to get a laptop version of Safari to identify itself as an iPhone to the BT & the Cloud wi-fi networks. That + an O2 mobile number = free laptop internet access. Interesting...

    The Cloud uses MAC address to authenticate iPhones for free access AFAIK.

    Still no announcement on the upgrade cost of 16GB model... :-(
