3 Mobile Broadband: Upload Speeds Not Good

Caffé Nero on 3G
Incidentally, the last post was all done using that 3 Mobile dongle I'm testing. Normally, I'd just leap on the BTOpenzone WiFi while in a Caffé Nero, but I thought I'd put the mobile broadband through its paces.

And it's more-or-less fine. The only real weakness is the painfully slow photo uploading. I tried uploading a pic both directly to my blog, and to Flickr, and uploads in both cases were pitifully slow. 

This is a real weakness of the service for me, as a generally pic-heavy blogger. The resized pic on this post was somewhat quicker to upload, but still, it wasn't really an acceptable speed for such a small image.

Anyway, I'm off to catch a train. I'll try to update this post from the train...

Update: Just managed to get a connection, as we pulled out of Charing Cross. Will it last, though?

Update 2: Just arrived at London Bridge, and all is good.

Thanks for doing these 'user-testing' posts Adam. Wish someone would do in my part of the world, or when I was living in the UK for that matter; for most of my former online providers I suspect it would all be manuals in how to fuck up absoutely everything (perhaps except Compuserve as mentioned in previous comment, but my expectations were zero when I started subscribing to Compuserve:-) )

Yes - I've had some issues, too:
