Orange France has admitted that it has tampered with iPhone 3G speeds. Its excuse is that the decision was taken in order to keep the network as stable as possible. Well I didn’t know the iPhone 3G will make any network unstable.

Average 3G download speeds in France were around 400Kbps at best for iPhone users. Orange says it will increase 3G data speeds to 1Mbps starting with September 15th. Until then you can always make a big fuss about your payments to Orange France. Why pay for something that isn’t working as advertised?
