Hi!
I want to see how the 3G networks around the world performs. So please post your speeds! Here is mine:

Isn't it impossible to get these speeds on 3G?

DC-HSPA supports up to 43 Mb/s (theoretically).
My speed's relatively high at the moment because it's the weekend. On a business day I'd get about half of this:

That's 4G though.
You get different speeds depending if its a weekend or a week day? That's crazy. Is it like this all over in New Zealand? In the UK it don't really matter what day it is but depends on the location the speed can vary.

On a DC-HSPA network, yes, it's possible. However, it's horribly inefficient because HSPA basically uses a larger spectrum slice to deliver the same speeds as a well-planned 2x10 LTE network. One of the many reasons why it looks like TMo will be dropping HSPA 42 in NYC (back to 21) and deploy 2x10 LTE, instead of the current 2x5.
Ah, so it's basically what we call 4G in the U.S?
Yeah it's what T-mobile markets as 4G in the US.
AT&T doesn't have DC-HSPA+ they only have HSPA+ 21 but they market that as 4G too.
So your 4G is just really ultra fast 3G as that is what DC-HSPA is called over here (UK) by Three

So what will they call proper 4G when you get it seeing as they're calling 3G 4G
They call it 4G LTE to differentiate between LTE and the fake "4G" that T-Mobile and AT&T call HSPA+ for marketing purposes.
