eHSDPA from Telstra is 21 mbps or 2.1 mbps?

21 sounds exaggerated.

I'm not much up on HSPA+ But Since capable is the operative word, I don't think 21mps is not really too exaggered. In reality though, I believe the actual speeds will be much lower.

Yeah, we'll be lucky to get half that! Though if I can get 5/6mbps consistently, I would be happy. I'm hoping that by next year EDGE speeds will be a thing of the past, yes I live in a 3G city, but there are times my phone dips back down to EDGE.

I'm certainly not getting an aircard from ATT til real worl speeds are 5/6mbps. And when below a mb is a thing of the past!

HSPA+, based on the 3GPP Release 7 standard, provides data rates of up to 28 Mbps on the downlink and 11 Mbps on the uplink, significant increases in network capacity, reduced latency and an enhanced user experience for many data-intensive applications.

I find this article interesting but the claims appear to be by the respective holders themselves of the technology. With these speeds being claimed and relatively the same as the end use of LTE, I would find this somewhat of a waste of time or why even offer LTE? Although this is just my opinion, I believe they are using "capable" speeds as a sales pitch to draw attention away from Wimax and lock a subscriber into a contract till LTE is launched.

It fails to mention that its the maximum speed the handset will allow. Its not real world. The stated speed of the original HSDPA which was first 7.2 Mbps then 14.4 Mbps really only saw a peak of 1.2 Mbps in real world. They don't even offer HSPA+ or HSPA evolved anywhere. Its a long way away and requires MIMO technology implemented within the currently deployed towers.

Which is why I believe my first post is somewhat accurate in my opinion stated.
