As per my earlier post, I asked 02 to set up HSDPA on my Orbit 2 and they confirmed that they had done so. I am on the Online 30 domestic tariff.

I went into Liverpool last week and got an "H" for the first time and it was very quick - noticably quicker then my 3G experience to date.

That is obviously good. It does seem from your experience that just occasionally it is possible to find someone at O2 who not only knows what HSDPA is but is willing and able to implement it as well. It is just a pity that the official policy at the moment is 'it's not for consumers'. It is of course O2's right to offer, or not, whatever services they like but it is really not acceptable that this limitation on comsumer data speed vs. what the network could do is not stated anywhere in the sales blurbs or in the T&C's. I guess the question is which would be easier to change - the policy or the sales material/T&C's?
