Therefore I will have a frustrating time waiting for the network to switch back to HSDPA to resume my browsing. But for calling it works fine on both networks. Why have SE 'forced' data streaming to only be available on HSDPA but not provide the necessary infrastructure of maintaining that signal connection causing frustration among users? Or is this a network provider issue? Has anyone else experienced this? Any light shed on this matter is very much appreciated.
