Whats the difference between Globe Mobile Broadband 3G with HSDPA and regular 3G?
Globe has simultaneously launched 3G and a technology known as High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), also known as 3.5G. Globe Mobile Broadband integrates these two technologies and Globe now offers this to its subscribers. This technology drastically increases the download speeds of 3G networks, delivering speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps with peaks of up to 1.8 Mbps – rather than the maximum 384 kilobits/sec. offered by regular 3G. Globe Mobile Broadband 3G with HSDPA is up to: • 25x faster than dial-up (56kbps), • 20x faster than GPRS (70kbps), • 3-4x quicker than residential DSL (384kbps) service, and, • 5-6x faster than basic 3G (384kbps) At this speed, you can now download 4MB MP3 tracks in only 20 seconds, and because it’s mobile you can do it while outside your home or office. And because HSDPA or 3.5G has a much wider bandwidth than regular 3G, you can also experience clearer connections while streaming video and faster internet connections while on-the-move.
