Speeding

I've just run the speed test posted above myself using an N81 on 02 3G, I get 572.45kbps (64KBps) so as you can guess I'm a pretty happy bunny :)

Just how I'm getting over the 384kbps limit I am unsure. Perhaps Newcastle is covered by HSDPA now?

I also get excellent coverage in Newcastle where many others especially orange are much poorer. However as I'm sure you all know coverage for individual networks varies dramatically across the country.

Incidentally, O2 web isn't unlimited, like other networks it imposes a fair use policy. 200MB for the basic service and 1GB for the Max package. Full details are at the following url:
