TeleGeography is reporting that Vodafone Greece has gone live with mobile broadband (read: USB dongles) using HSPA+ tech. Just to clarify, that should mean a theoretical top-end data rate of around 22Mbps download and 6 Mbps upload.
Of course, there are some reality checks here – first of all, the coverage is in part of Athens only for now, secondly, you need the Vodafone AAi4505 USB stick wireless modem, and third of all, you maybe shouldn’t expect all of the 22Mbps – it’s all about contention ratios you see!
Still it’s good to see Operators rolling out these services – 3.75G is going to be our stop-gap until the much-vaunted 4G (LTE) arrives!
