For those people with HTC Velocity 4G, Richard Cole's setting as above works fine for me.

Internet was connected and switching between 3G and H.

Authentication Type: Not set or None as in Velocity

I am well with in the optus 3G area and installed the suggested settings. It does not work. I tried all the above options as well. Still does not work. Can some one please help.

 

Thank you in advance.

I have tried the default settings and the don't work. 

Let's see how long this takes to resolve.
