Hmmmm... i think i may have found the problem to sort some of it out... if you are on o2 i would recommend not downloading the Cloud app, where it logs you into any thecloud hotspot as it is always turned on and puttings a profile in the settings, ive just removed it and it seems somewhat faster :\ poosible problem fix you reckon?

i guess if thats the preferred connection its gonna make it slow. ive had this with BT openzone were it kept connecting to that rather than my own home wifi. so i clicked on forget this connection and it solved the problem. see how u get on now

Well i have the same problem with BTOpenzone, i stupidly set my router up to "opt in" so now i have a hotspot and my own internet, everytime i leave the house and come back it decides it likes the openzone more and connects to that first, but still even after i press forget this network it still does it when i come back home again

How long have you had your phone? you know its possible the wifi might actually be broke!
I once took my phone back to apple because the case cracked they gave me a new one and when i got it out the box the wifi was broke so had to take it back. when i googled it there were a few people who said it seemed an update made it break too

Yer i dont think it has to be fair, literaly i noticed it straight after the upgrade had taken place, and was like hmm this seems a bit strange... reset the network settings etc etc tried again and still the same
Ive only had my phone well 8 months, 16gb with plenty of space left, think about 6gb so not running low on space, i know computers slow when there harddrives get full so hopefully isnt the case with these. Dont have a million apps got like 4 screens full thats it.
They gave you new one for free?
I've been doing a search online and it does seem others too have the problem.. but apple havn't responded yet, as per.
