T-Mobile Boosts 3G Data To 348Kbps
Posted: 28th Aug, 2004 By: MarkJ
T-Mobile is to boost the speed of its 3G broadband wireless mobile phone data rate from 128Kbps now to 348Kbps in autumn, brining it into line with rivals:
The deal being offered by T-Mobile could be the first sign of real competition, predicted by some analysts, in the 3G data market. Vodafone, which was the first network operator in the UK to launch a 3G service, currently sells four tariffs for its GPRS/3G data card, ranging from £11.75 a month for 5MB of data to £99.99 for 500MB (a promotional offer running at the moment doubles this capacity).
Orange, which launched its GPRS/3G datacard in July has a similar tariff that ranges from £11.75 a month for 7MB of data to £88.13 a month for 1000MB.
T-Mobile has a single, flat rate tariff that gives users as much bandwidth as they can use across 3G and GPRS phone networks, and WiFi networks, for £70. Although the 3G is currently only available at 128Kbps, this will increase to the 348kbps this autumn, said Jay Saw, manager for T-Mobile hotspots.
