Galaxy S3, Three UK Mobile data connection problems

Hi folks.

I bought a Galaxy S3 about a month ago on Three here in the UK, and everything was working fine for the first two weeks or so. Then it started to play games the past couple of weeks with connecting to mobile internet, wi-fi works fine though.

Basically, right now i've got 2 to 3 bars on my signal strength meter. But the internet is working in short bursts and constantly changing about. "3G" dosen't work, "H" dosen't work, only "H+" works but it only stays on that for a short while before dropping down to 3G or "H".

It dosen't seem to matter what firmware it's on. The latest Jellybean update dosen't change anything, and i've rolled it back to the three stock firmware via odin as well. I've tried airplane mode, and i've even got an app that resets the network. Plus i've restored it to factory settings, but none of it makes any difference.

I'm not sure if it's my phone, or if three's network is just useless. But it's latest stint of playing up has been going on for a couple of days now.

I'm on 3 too, I think its their network they were having problems over the weekend a day left an automated message when you called customer services. It said they were aware that people were having problems accessing the internet and they were working on it.

I think 3 UK has always had problems with it's network. It was never particularly brilliant when I used it. Customer service sucked as well.

So I guess there's nothing else I can do as far as my phone is concerned, I was getting worried that something was seriously wrong with it. I guess all I can do it wait it out then, it's into it's third day of messing around now.
