iPhone 3G speeds are being capped by Orange France it seems. What’s funny is we probably wouldn’t have known about the speed cap whether a series of recent surveys hadn’t been performed. The surveys show major differences in speed when it came to different parts of the world and that had some raising their eyebrows.

Currently, iPhone 3G speeds in France are being capped at 384 kbps. However, on September 15,

the speed cap will be raised to 1 Mbps. that is an obvious improvement and should help citizens in France with iPhones experiencing better reception and faster details transfer.

Interestingly abundant, the 1 Mbps cap is still under HSDPA’s maximum limit and quite less than what T-Mobile users in Europe experience, which clocks in at around 1.8 Mbps.
