Hi,

Does anyone know the theoretical and practical upload speeds for Telecom's HSPA+ network? I can't find this documented anywhere, only download speeds.

Thanks :)

My understanding is that XT is still only HSUPA category 5 meaning 2Mbps max uplink.

Real world speeds are in the vicinity of 1Mbps - the Truenet and Epitiro tests will both give you your best real world summary.

Thanks, I've speed tested at 1.88 and it sounds like that's about the highest I'm going to get :)

Nothing wrong with that, The fastest I have seen on Vodafone UL is 4.1 Mbps on my SGII

The discussion is about Telecom XT, no need to hijack it.

I would not call it a hijack, I advised nothing wrong with 1.8Mbps UL on XT and just advised the fastest I have seen on Vodafone
