We’re all getting used to HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) for fast downloads on mobile broadband and our mobile phones, but T-Mobile has today switched on it’s HSUPA (High Speed Uplink Packet Access) facility, which does the same thing for uploads.  Limited to a maximum of “only” 1.4mbps, it’s faster than most broadband download speeds! Not all kit supports HSUPA today, and it’s not clear how widespread T-Mobile’s roll out is today, but it’s a start.  They’ve also upgraded their HSDPA to a maximum of 7.2mbps, but again, without coverage information, this may not benefit many people either.  The only good thing is that T-Mobile have at least stated that the 7.2mbps network is likely to result in real world speeds of 4.5mbps, in line with other providers.
