quote: HSDPA is alot faster than 3G, it can support speeds of up to 14.4Mbit/sec, although networks only use 1.8 or 3.6 mbps currently. EDGE is slower than 3G, somewhere in the region of 200Kbps or so. Only O2 and orange support this is i believe. EDGE is a 2G tech, so would be available if you were out of 3G range, which is useful, but is hardly support at all. O2 only support EDGE now because of the iPhone, since thats the fastest data transfer the iPhone can do (what a shit phone :lol: ). [Edited on 06-02-2008 by DarkBahamut] | |

They go down to 3g when idling on a web page, then HSDPA kicks in when you need it | |

The Three HSDPA modem is fantastic. My GF gets the full HSDPA service, although in her room it goes between 3G and HSDPA every couple of minutes. Still works perfectly with 4OD and Napster though. | |

384kbps is 3G. 48kbps is GPRS :lol:. You can get slightly faster with EDGE, but not many networks support this. | |

Seems abit out of the way :lol:. T-Mobile claim to have good 2G access but low to none 3G access. So you could get GPRS access there, but anything more seems to be pushing it. | |

Marginal at best, bit sketchy infact. I'll take mine along & see how it is, there's no planned masts to go up over the next 4 years so fingers crossed :o | |

quote: Thats the one. I use the web'n'walk plus package. The standard £7.50 a month one is abit limiting in what they allow you to do with it (no IMs, no peer to peer, no modem support and no voip) and only give you 1GB a month. The plus one for £12.50 increases the limits to 3GB and allows everything expect voip, which i don't think is unreasonable. | |

The mobile data services really don't cost very much anymore (unless you are on orange :lol: ). | |
