HSDPA is capable of like up to 14.4 Mbit/s in the downlink as people know (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HSDPA) now when can we see manufacturers increase the speed modems can handle and networks are increased. Maybe a 3 Mbit connection?

Edited: Also any news on HSUPA from anywhere?

THe next speed step will be 3.6Mb/s with some handsets claiming support in the near future. On the network it will imply a number of upgrades.

Before we get a flood of replies; I agree, let's first get to 1.8Mb/s! :rolleyes:

Not sure, will depend on the specifc manufacturer. Will start asking.

The 3.6Mb/s devices are beginning to be announced, so they'll start shipping in the next few months. Don't think we'll see anything on the network until next year some time.

Very very nice V3G, that means we kiss the Data Card goodbye, lucky I use my trusted 3G phone as a modem and have not rushed to get a Data Card yet..

How soon :) (had to ask)

Probably a month or three.

At least the data cards don't change as quickly as handsets.
