T-Mobile has developed some technology that is faster than the 3G technology that is currently the prevalent cellular speed for connection but not quite as speedy as the 4G that is just in its infancy.
3.5G is about the same download speeds as ADSL in your home. The typical speed for ADSL varies (see list) but for the purpose of 3.5G, it is capable of up to 8.5Mbps download speed. That is pretty quick! In my home I use a connection that is 6Mbps download, have 9 or more devices connecting through it, and I still have exceptional internet response times!
(ADSL Speeds)
* 256Kbps/128Kbps
* 512Kbps/128Kbps
* 1Mbps/256Kbps
* 2Mbps/512Kbps
* 8Mbps/1024Kbps
It is good to know that HSDPA is *only* used for downloads. When you are trying to email from your cell phone, or trying to send or receive an image in your text messages then you will find that the speeds are back down to the 3G speed, which is much slower than that of 3.5G. This download only channel helps to ensure that all individuals using the technology get the most from their cell phone when downloading. Like with any other networking technology, the more people or the more traffic using it, the more attenuation (slowing down) you will find. Think of a freeway. When it is rush hour you may spend an hour on a half mile stretch of road, but if it is 2:00 in the morning, you are likely to be able to drive the speed limit with no problems. The same is true for network traffic. The more people using it, the slower it becomes.
