I've got

 

Use Packet Data : ticked

Data Roaming : unticked

Network mode : GSM/WCDMA (Auto Mode)

Over subscription on the towers your hitting maybe? I've found mobile speeds regardless of device very hit or miss to be honest. At work I have a fleet of iphones and they all suffer the same issue. It just depends on location and time.

Fixed..!

 

Was getting totally pissed off so I just paid a visit to the local Telstra Shop.. The young girl was on the ball, said nothing wrong with my settings etc, and suggested we look at the SIM card. Turns out I've got an as old as the hills SIM card in my phone which was designed for 2G.. Swapped it out to a new SIM and happy days..

 

 

Pulling 4500k + now :)

 

So, Woka's handy hint for the day for all you slowies; check you SIM cards for a possible speed increase.
