Orange France capping 3G speeds
Via AppleInsider:
When contacted by FranceInfo, an Orange representative reportedly confirmed that that the carrier has been deliberately limiting speeds for all 3G capable phones on its network to 384Kbps, saying the move was aimed at ‘preserving the stability of the network’.— AppleInsider
I think a lot of people are going to be very pissed off about this – including me if it turns out O2 are doing this sort of thing in the UK too. I appreciate that network stability needs to be considered, but they need to be upfront and honest about this sort of thing, rather than just letting Apple take all the flak for something that is not actually their problem.
