rman: All speeds are dependent on the number of users using the network at a time.

They are maximum speed possible not speeds you will get on your device. eg If you are the only one using a 3G site at a time, then you will get that maximum speed.

Also, it is not all mobile devices ( phones , modems ) that can deliver these maximum speeds. Therefore number of uplink and dwonlink channels designed for the phone also matters.

At the end of the day, if a netwrok supports HSDPA and on a site,and 200 people are comunicating on the site at once, the speed available may not be upto EDGE speed at that time although it is an HSDPA site.

That is why we get faster dwonloads at night when most people are sleeping.
If your info is true, then it's what I've longed for

lol
Actually, these speeds are for the entire site (A base station site just like the one you see near a mast). All users are to use these download speed. If you are lucky enough to be the only user on coverage of that site, you will actually get the max throughput. But this is 9ja, you might be up to 1000 data users on an EDGE enabled site, that's why you get the kind of service you get.
Sorry.
You nailed it!

Hi everyone, thanks for fast-fowarding my learning curve on this topic. Its been bugging me for long and I just said to try a search. Also, what is the defination of broadband in relation to these 4G and LTE speeds, are they all under the broadband definition? Thanks.
Re: Differences Between Gprs, Edge, 3g, Hsdpa, Hspa+ And 4g Lte by deveaux(m): 9:09pm On Oct 14, 2013
I get H+(Hspap), same as 4g I guess, on my phone at my place in Ikorodu with mtn. I use a Samsung galaxy s3. I must say, the connection is super fast.

Re: Differences Between Gprs, Edge, 3g, Hsdpa, Hspa+ And 4g Lte by africastar(m): 11:43pm On Oct 22, 2013
In addition to higher speed, you may also wish to access mobile ready (mobile optimised) websites, typically all website with dot TEL are genuinely mobile ready therefore the fastest to display, at any given "bandwidth" speed .
Try some examples shocked :
www.IBADAN.TEL www.short-code.TEL www.SMSsearch.TEL www.USSD.TEL www.IMEI.TEL www.NOLLYWOOD.TEL
www.AFRICASTAR.TEL

enjoy grin
