Network Throttling
Ok - so a few of us N95 users at Refresh Mobile have noticed a thing called 'Network Throttling'.
Basically, when browsing the mobile internet your operator chooses what kind of kb per image you can download.. This is usually a low number.. So that when you first get to a webpage, more often than not, the pictures on said site are usually grainy and horrible..
Now, this wouldn't normally matter on a small-screened phone - but on the N95, it is VERY noticable indeed!
Ok.. The example I'm going to use is when I was chatting away on Jaiku earlier on today and my friend Chibbigirl uploaded a link to her m.flickr account.. (i'd tell you what it was - but you're about to see it anyway!).
So, said link appears in my (fantastic) jaiku client, I click it to go through and see the pic..
And what do I see? A grainy rubbishly loaded version.
Grr! ...however, a simple 'reload page' fixes this issue..
Which is fine..
Until you realise you have to double load EVERY PAGE YOU GO TO!
Aaargh!
See below for comparison shots...

Do you see what I mean?!
Shocking...
And following up on Adonis' comment - Dude! I've got auto-reload on already and I still get this problem!
Rubbish!
