Sorry but that sounds like normal service to me 
On a more serious note you may want to check that you phone is set up to use both GSM and 3G
To do this do the following:
Press the MENU key
Touch Settings
Touch Wireless & networks
Scroll to and touch Mobile networks
Touch Network mode
Touch GSM/WCDMA auto.
Thanks for the responses there, I do have the setting currently as GSM/WCDMA Auto.
Here is a link to the vodafone site and the explanation of the settings:
Under the resources section is 3 x pdfs explaining the setup:
1 - or Internet
2 - Wap
3 - MMS
I have configured 3 different APNs in my list, 1 for each of the above - The bit I am struggling with is this, you have to select the green box against one of these as you default and each document ends by saying to tick that box making it the default. If however, I leave the internet APN ticked then I cannot receive MMS, if I select MMS in the APN list then the MMS works fine but the internet seems slow, if I tick Wap then MMS and internet seems to work but internet seems even slower then with internet ticked.
MY head is mashed 
Please help.
Hello cooooky,
I'm afraid most of the internet slowness is down to Vodafone's rubbish data capacity on their network. Even in a good 3G or H area you can wait for ever as, although the data carrier signal is there in good strength the networks ability to to send actual data is very poor. Sadly it's been admitted that here in the Newcastle area they have over subscribed the system and unfortunately seem to give preference to business customers. We personal customers seem to go to the back of the queue.
