I've noticed that wherever I am in the country with a good 3g signal,
connections can often need a reboot of the phone to get the GPRS/
packet data(?) little G back on, and even then, it often doesn't
connect to the end website.

Three don't really "get" what I'm talking about (might even post the
recorded conversation here - it makes depressing listening). Is it
just me as they suggest? or has packet data been difficult these last
couple of weeks?

No problems here, could be the cells you are on are overloaded,
but i would check your 3g Modem/phone

I have this problem in my area of Staffordshire, however after 1am in
the morning there is no problem with browsing or downloading. So I
assume the local cell is overloaded during the day / evening as the
previous post suggested. I have had similar problems with 3 not
admitting any local network overloading. During the day / evening web
browsing is so slow as to make it unuseable. I may try a usb dongle
rather than my 3g phone but I doubt it will make much difference. If
anyone else has had problems like this anywhere else a post would be
appreciated.

Just a quick update I purchased a usb dongle for the 3 pre-pay service
today connection speed @ 3.6mbps download & upload seem OK today, even
getting HDSP service her which is good....
