iPhone 4 to launch on 3 network

Its on the front page of the 3 website.

Not a surprise after the very late Apple + 3 iPad introduction.

I bought the 3 SIM for the iPad. The download speed is pretty good compared to O2 Micro SIM - 3Mbps vs 0.8Mbps. Upload speed doesn't appear to take advantage of the HSUPA in the area. My pet complaint against O2 at the moment is image compression which I was pleased to find not present on 3. Also there doesn't appear to be a proxy server on 3 so sites like BBC HTML5 iPlayer work properly. The only snag I found is the sign up process - try spelling your name name and address and bank details over the phone to a non UK based call centre - the whole process took 30 minutes.

I went for a 12gb prepaid SIM from eBay for my iPad. It was easy to cut down with a pair of scissors.

500, 750 or 1GB quotas on new contracts.

They're really screwing up, all the other networks will follow too. It's stupid how they can't plan ahead.

So much for unlimited data.

It's stupid how they can't plan ahead.

I think planning ahead is exactly what they are doing...

But it's not the right type of planning ahead.

The right type takes time. In the meantime they have to maintain a service.

All because of a minority of users. I don't see why they can't boot these users, they are obviously tethering without the bolt on.

The reluctance to boot is touched on in the article I linked to.
