O2 seem to refuse that there data abilities have been crippled of late. what
times are you dialling into WAP as I have found wap impossible to dial into
most of the day, and GPRS has been affected by this as well, the slower
speeds show the network cant cope with it! the demand is just so huge that
the network gives you busy tones for dialup and if ya lucky n use GPRS ya
just get a stupid slow speed

Oh and when ya complain to O2 I bet they say the ENGINEERS(PAH I don't think
O2 have any these days!) have said that you needs a new sim card to get your
old speeds back up again as they always keep telling me that, even though I
have the same problem on more than 1 phone and in different areas and on
different numbers!

It could be an area thing. I frequently use both regular WAP, and GPRS on
O2 and have experienced no problems whatsoever.
