Just noticed what you said there, you do realise that Edge (E), whilst being a 2G technology (defined as 2.9G) is faster than GPRS (G) which is more commonly defined at 2.5G??

Maybe Vodafone have realised their transmitters are currently unable to blanket the Wallasey area with 3G and thus has opted for the next best thing, and optimized performance for Edge instead?

If you were using GPRS in a lot of places, then EDGE would be a noticeable upgrade, so not all bad, but vs 3G (especially HSDPA area's) area's it would be a noticeable downgrade.

In most cases, you should be using Opera Mini for web browsing anyway, even on a regular 3G connection, it significantly improves the speed. Of course for video's, EDGE is going to be tedious lol...
Oops, missed off the '3' (i.e. 3G).

The Galaxy II was actually getting H+ at the hospital at some points yesterday, so hoping it's fixed...

Huh?


Giffgaff costs me less than £5 a month including internet, texts (circa 1000 a month) and phonecalls.
Orange costs me £5 a month for texts.


There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025
