T-mobile delivering HSUPA 1.4Mbps across the UK

While launching a HSDPA capable network is becoming more common, a full scale launch of a HSUPA network is a much different story.  UK residents will be among the first to enjoy the first UK HSPA network (HSPDA + HSUPA) which will deliver up to 7.2Mbps downlink and 1.4Mbps uplink speeds.  To say that we are not jealous living of T-mobile UK customers would be an understatement, especially when our best shot at 3G GSM lies in the hands of At&t.  For those not familiar with the current At&t 3G situation, it can basically be summed up with the sad realization that only 5% of the US is 3G ready.

T-Mobile UK chief executive Jim Hyde said on Monday that the operator was addressing “the growing passion for sharing photos and videos on social-networking sites”.  With the boost in uploads speeds, UK residents should have no problem uploading their 5.0 megapixel camera phone shots while T-mobile USA users putt away at EDGE speeds.
