It seems I have communicated very effectively then.
I don't quite understand what I'm recommending either.

The default setting claims to be 0,2.
When I explicitly set 0,2, it seems to fix a problem.
When I explicitly set 3,2, it make the data path faster.

So what is it that fixed the problem?
a/ luck
b/ explicitly setting something
c/ explicitly setting 0,2

??
I'm guessing (or more accurately "hoping") that it is 'b'.  Then by
explicitly setting 3,2 I can both fix the problem and get fast Internet.

I think I'm going to run with explicitly setting 3,2 as my default, but
create a button to explicitly set other values so if it fails again I can
experiment.  
Explicitly setting to 3,2 doesn't cause the problem to re-appear, so
worst-case I can set 3,2 when using internet, and 0,2 otherwise.

If you have never experienced my problem (good signal strength, all calls
fail) the I would recommend setting to 3,2.
