Faster broadband from Vodacom
Vodacom has launched its High Speed Uplink Packet Access (HSUPA) service today, Wednesday, 28 May 2008. The service will be commercially available countrywide with immediate effect, and is the first of its kind in South Africa.
HSUPA is an enhancement of Vodacom's current HSDPA 3.6 service, which will offer users maximum upload speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps and download speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps, although the average achievable speeds are somewhat lower. In essence, Vodacom's HSDPA 3.6 now offers a bi-directional broadband experience - allegedly a first for South Africa.
"Vodacom continues to set the pace in wireless broadband technology in South Africa. With HSUPA, our customers will now have access to the fastest down- and upload speeds available, offering them a true broadband experience," said Alan Knott-Craig, Vodacom Group CEO
"With the launch of Vodacom's HSUPA service, customers who have opted to use HSDPA 3.6 for a fixed fee of R49.00 per month will automatically receive HSUPA and experience the latest wireless broadband technology, offering the best and fastest mobile broadband available."
