I'm having some bizarre problems on my iPhone (T-Mobile UK, Full Monty plan).

Netflix takes ages and ages to load on my phone (Fine on WiFi) about 10 minutes to load up the video. Once its loaded it'll buffer just fine in HD. Netflix gets stuck at 20% for ages when I tether it to my MacBook Pro as well. Speeds are fine. Speedtest.net says I'm getting 3.8 down and 0.5 upload, which is more than enough to stream netflix.

Rdio (The music streaming service) will load fine on my iPhone over 3G but when I tether it to my MacBook Pro or iMac, it will load Rdio songs very very slowly.

I can't figure this out. T-Mobile said they have investigated and can't find any issues with the service. I agree in the sense that I don't understand how Rdio will stream ok on the phone but not on the tethered computer.

Has anyone ever had any similar issues? I've already reset the network settings and that didn't do anything.
