Vodafone, Option kick off HSUPA offering in Germany
Some of us are still clamoring for mere 1.8Mbps HSDPA -- complete with a pedestrian 384kbps on the upstream side -- to go live in our neck of the woods, but that's not stopping Vodafone from rolling deep (way deep) in Germany. Voda has gone live in Bavaria with an Option GlobeTrotter Express HSUPA card, "customized to the exacting requirements of the operator" and offered at retail as the "Mobile Connect Card Express UMTS Broadband." The ExpressCard/34 offers a Cardbus adapter in box, firmware upgradeability, download speeds as high as 7.2Mbps, and a staggering (albeit theoretical) 1.45Mbps upstream.

All operators in Portugal allready give 3,6mbps speeds on large urban areas, and 1,8mbps in most of the rest of the country.

TMN allready sells a 7,2mbps card for now about 6 months so I supose that they will soon upgrade their speeds.

I'm assuming you meant "complete with a pedestrial 384kbps on the UPSTREAM side" (not downstream), right?
