I have bought new phone (old one dead after 7 years of use). Samsung galaxy s3 GT-I9300
And i decided to change carrier from Vodafone to Telecom, because telecom have great package for $39 ultra open term (1Gb data, unlimited texts, 300 mins, Telecom Wifi use 1gb/day + ability to do naked on ADSL broadband). Tasty pie!
Today my existing phone number transfer/porting finished. And i have started to test everything and here is PROBLEM DETECTED.
3g broadband speed is too slow:

What's problem can be here? Is it because telecom salesperson gave me 4G sim card for NON 4g Phone? Is it any way to solve it, i want to stay with Telecom but i want good speeds as well.
I didn't bought 4G phone because 3G for me is enough and tiny DATA allowance on 100 Mbps is a "absurdity".%MCEPASTEBIN%
