8ta Network Confusion

[mikeh]

Hi, I am trying out the 3 GB Promotion SIM in a K3520 modem with a view to upgrading to the 10GB Promotion contract. At the bottom of the 8ta dashboard I see “8ta WCDMA” I have not seen 3G or HSDPA. I have a Telkom Fixed Line Look Alike phone operating on WCDMA. I am concerned that I am picking up the FLLA network and not the correct 8ta network or are they the same thing? Any ideas?

Same thing, different terminology.

3G and HSDPA is based on WCDMA technology. I wouldn't worry about.
