Vodacom's 3G HSDPA (high speed downlink packet access), which is up to five times faster than 3G and faster than ADSL, will be available commercially from 2 April 2006. Access will be through the exclusive use of a Vodafone Mobile Connect 3G broadband card with HSPDA, which can also be used on any of the Vodafone 3G broadband networks worldwide where roaming agreements are in place."3G HSDPA delivers performance comparable to today's ADSL and wireless LAN services, but with the added benefit of mobility. It is 3G on steroids!" says Pieter Uys, COO of Vodacom.
