Also I got 3GB free 3G data for a 3month validity " :shock:

woot"

I'm lovin it now!

High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA)

3g all the same at 2.8 mbps

I'm not complaining though. at least it damn fast now and I can save data through opera mini.

That should be 3.5G right ?

I heard 3g and 4g, now what is 3.5g?

Lol

.

3.5G is nothing but more speed .

Corret me if i am wrong , 3g = 3.6mbps , 3.5G = 7.2 to 10.1 mbps

Yup I guess 3.5G = HSUPA which is upto 21mbps. Correct me too if I'm wrong

BTW looks like need to try out Docomo.

D

Which telecom circle you fall in? Gotta check if there's such same offer available here too in Mumbai

Cool man..can u tell me in which city ur getting this offer..

I am in karnataka.
Today I got another message saying that as a promotional offer they have given me 3hours of free mobile tv viewing with 20 channles. However this required me to download their application which is utter crap cause it does not play any tv stream etc

As I said tata docomo. below is the link for the free offer
Click on the tab called pre pay offer
Take note that I don't have Ideos but Lg optimus one. Guess they only look for Android OS :lol:

IDEOSâ„¢

Well the offer is on Nokia C5 also .

Like how do you start the offer ?

use that handset on tata docomo network wherever. our better fill the small 3g info form on their website. or click on any tata docomo adds in your android phone.

Yup

Corret me if i am wrong , 3g = 3.6mbps , 3.5G = 7.2 to 10.1 mbps

I think it's -
Edit
384 kbps - 3G
3.6 mbps to 14.4 mbps - 3.5G/"H"
onwards (upto 84 mbps :shock:

) - HSPA+

@noja
I got (almost) the same test results - 2.4 mbps

You know if proper convention is followed , 384 kbps is Edge and I think till 3.6 mbps is 3G.

^^^ Take a look at this phones specs
Nokia 2730 Classic - GSMArena.com

And try to surf net with
* 3G on the top (status bar) and
* "H" or 3.5G on top
you will feel the difference yourself

It's same as "G" and "E".

What is the difference between 3g and HSUPA ?

N

HSDPA is Enhanced 3G, with (much) better data transfer rate...

This link should help you

= Difference Between 3G and HSDPA | Difference Between | 3G vs HSDPA

well on my phone when there is no data traffic, the status bar shows 3g. but, when the data is being sent or received, the symbol changes to H.

noja said:

Its because data is transferred at an 'enhanced' rate

I get all the differences . Thanks for the link .

One more question , Say I am on a 2G plan of Airtel . And my mobile catches 3G . When i surf the net it changes to 3.5G .

Am i getting better speeds ?

does it show anything like 3.5g
do you get the speed of 3g?

Yes , It shows 3.5G while surfing if i select Network as " Dual Mode"

It shows E while surfing if i select network as " GSM "

You will achieve better speed, but not consistent speed.
