O2 boosts internet service

The decision for mobile phone network O2 to offer improved internet services has been commended by the Trusted Reviews website.
It is reported that the network had previously limited a number of its customers using 3G mobile phones to a bandwidth of 128kbps and the site notes that this had not been a popular move.
However, it goes on to state that O2 has now boosted its services and issued an apology for the previous speeds - a response issued so rapidly that the website says makes it "commendable".
Both 3G and HSDPA customers will now receive better speeds and in a statement the company stated that it would further endeavour to improve upon this.
"The vast majority of our 3G customers are [now] able to access the internet on their mobile device at speeds of up to 384 KBps or typically up to 1.3 MBps if they have an HSDPA-enabled device," the statement read.
This week, O2 confirmed that it would be reducing the price of the 8gb Apple iPhone to £169.
