Network speed advice: TalkMobile vs T-Mobile (via E2save)

jenniewb

Am planning on getting a mobile in the not too distant future having been without one for now several months I am going to need one at some point.

Seen some decent looking deals on e2save but am not so sure about the network provider.

I know it varies depending on where you live but my issue isn't just that its also the speed of things like being online. I have seen people posting here how t-mobile sevearly limit internet speeds unless you pay more with them or go directly through their site or store, that I cannot be dealing with: its jumping through invisible hoops as far as I can see and I don't think its fair: is this common for most online t-mobile users or just randomly picked ones?

With vodaphone I had been with them previously but had baaad customer service experiences (I was told I basicly didn't matter because I wasn't paying enough to matter- yes in as much words! I left shortly after). Has this gotten better? And how do they compare in terms of internet speed with t-mobile (without having to pay t-mobile extra to do the job they advertise?).

Also, does it affect things like speed so much if you go through a 3rd party site like e2save or phones4u?

T-Mobile limiting data speeds to just 0.35Mbps on HSDPA

I don't know if it's the case or an urban myth, but am inclined to think that it's the latter.
