Has anyone else noticed how slow 3G or is it only me? trying to access websites has become a nightmare, dial up was faster

Turkcell G3 do encounter technical problems but what really gets my goat is they deny it and blame your computer. On one occasion spoke to a girl that did admit they were having big problems and the technicians were working on it. I was very happy that someone told me the truth and bared with them. It's the damn lies they tell I can't take!

have not had that problem with them (probably because I hav'nt spoken to them - YET). We were impressed with the service but over the last couple of weeks things have got worse & worse, and we stupidly paid a year up front and we dont see much chance of improvements either

Have paid for a year, Massive reduction in speed, over 90% down. Have been phoning them almost every day for over a week now and have had a different excuse given each time, and the popular PC needs formatting or the Network Settings are wrong excuse has come up a few times.

Get the feeling that this might be down to them over-selling and not having the infastructure to support demand. Anyone else missing good old wireless?

Well I can only say that I have no complaints about Turkcell, Skype working well with video, but I dont download, so maybe thats the issue. I was nervous about having Turkcell due to the number of people unsatisfied but I have certainly been fine with it, so all in all very pleased for a change.

My 3G is painfully slow at times, sometimes down to 2 - 3kb a second. Fortunately I only pay monthly so will be giving them the heave ho soon. I believe that they have over subscribed the service - in all likelihood, as customers desert them in droves, this will free up space on the system and download speeds will increase dramatically......
