The clue is in the name - LTE H-Monitor - the software is really only for 4G configuration.
3G, being so old, was never designed to be as configurable as 4G is in terms of controlling/setting modem parameters etc.
3G is a whole different kettle of fish compared to 4G, and I have much less experience with it.
I just tested my old-old Moto G phone with Smarty forced to 3G only and speeds are a consistent ~12mbps down ~4Mbps up.
My mast has undergone Three's 3G-to-4G refarming on 2100mhz (B1 in 4G terms) so I know the amount of spectrum assigned to 3G is just 5mhz (from 15mhz before the refarm).
I see in NSG that 3G is only running in HSPA+ mode and there is no DC-HSDPA (3G carrier aggregation) occurring - thats expected because Three have only left the single 5mhz carrier after the refarm.
Given what I see, I am making the assumption that the mast you're connected to for 3G hasn't yet been refarmed (your first post does mention its a B3+20 mast). You're likely seeing DC-HSDPA which is helping with the speeds at the moment... however I would caution you to be prepared for your 3G speed to drop when the refarm does eventually happen for you.
