I wonder HTC One X is 3G+ compatible. Isn't 3G+ just the same as HSPA+?

[zabzabcanfly69 · Accepted solution]

The upgrade to 3G+ is actually to DC - HSDPA 

This is HSDPA+

Peak Speed - 21Mbps
Real-World Speeds - 6Mbps

This is DC-HSDPA

Peak Speed - 42Mbps
Real-World Speeds - 12Mbps

This is 4G

Peak Speed - 73Mbps
Real-World Speeds - 20Mbps

 Ohhhhh and just an add on.... its not really 4G their is no 4G in australia.. not even telstra its technically 3.9G

Agreed about telstras FauxG, but I am pretty sure VF's 4G is planned to be peak 100mbs, so that would be true 4G

Is Vodafone building the 4G networks or just buying them? If they're getting built it will take for ever to see a 4G phone..

Lawstudent if what you say is true i will be the happiest user in existence... mmmmmm i want me some 100mb speeds.... have you heard about the swedish guy who got not just theoretical but pratical physical 1GB/s mmmmm yeaaaaa

Hey Vodafone, how bout you build a 3g network first with decient coverage

[zabzabcanfly69]

Their working on it.. These goals are to have the the 3G good and functioning by September this year.. In september they will begin rolling out their 3G+ and in 2013 they hope to start rolling out 4G... and i mean cut them some slack. Can you honestly tell me you know anything about network Frequencies and Bandwidth.. As you should all know Vodafone have lots of issues in NSW and Melbourne but they are working on it. Yes their trying to get everything up for you guys.. and yes they can be a pain but all you need to do is ask nicely and if you dont get want you want push harder for what was promised...

I'm not trying to defend vodafone much cause I'm all about seeing the little guy win but sometimes you just need to practice some patience. Vodafone has the potential to be great.. They just need to work on it.  They are the third biggest in australia and are well on their way to overtaking optus.. But your are right once they sort out their 3G 3G+ and 4G they will be a force to be reckoned with
