T-Mobile unrolls HSUPA for mobile broadband

T-Mobile have unrolled high speed HSUPA across its network, allowing for faster mobile broadband services, and have launched some new packages allowing customers to take advantage of the faster speeds. Both the 12 month and 24 month T-Mobile Plus (3GB) and Max (10GB) Mobile Broadband plans are now available to buy with either the standard USB Dongle, or the new high-powered USB Stick modem.

The T-Mobile Stick modem is available for either a one-off £19.99 fee for customers taking out a 12 month contract, or free for those who sign up for 24 months.

HSUPA, which stands for High Speed Uplink Packet Access, is a 3G technology that allows users to upload content from their mobile phones to websites at speeds of up to 1.4mbps. T-Mobile has also improved download speeds on the HSPDA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) enabled 3G network to 7.2Mbps in the Greater London area – T-Mobile plan to extend this to other major cities in the UK towards the end of the year, enabling maximum mobile broadband speeds of up to 4.5Mbps in these areas.
