I'm afraid you are very wrong. I can't speak for your connection, but
many GPRS / 3G data connections go through a downsampling proxy which
recompresses images at much lower quality. The Orange one adds a
little popup telling you to click the image to get the full quality
version.

On Orange, if you use the VPN APN you can avoid this, but it's not an
option you can just switch off.
