Hi all. I am currently at my parents' place in Christchurch with my Vodem, and I am surprised that it seems to be connecting at GPRS speeds here. The coverage maps show that I am probably slightly outside of 3G Broadband coverage, but I am definitely within ordinary 3G coverage, which is confirmed when I look at my 3G handset.
So, for some reason, my Vodem seems to be stepping down from HSDPA-GPRS instead of HSDPA-UMTS-GPRS. I'm curious as to whether anyone else has experienced this problem.
