How can it download at up to 7.2mbps, when the maximum speed of the
network is 1.8mbps (hsdpa)?
Is it something to do with the modem technology?
Can anyone elucidate?
TIA

HSDPA has a roadmap of speed increases, 1.8 > 3.6 > 7.2. I believe vodoofone
may have switched on some 7.2 kit in some *very* central bits of London.
