HSUPA anywhere?

I have a Sierra AirCard 881 and am looking to try the new HSUPA service. Does anyone know of any place where there is actually a HSUPA deployment?
My understanding from ATT site is that we should see between 500-800 Kbps on the uplink when we have HSUPA.

I just upgraded from an 860 to an 881. Nothing different in Tulsa yet.

New York is live with HSPA. Chicago and other big cities will turn on in early 2008. I forget when.

New York is *not* live with HSUPA. A couple towers in Midtown, only.

Denver and MLPS are all HSUPA capable markets.

Denver is HSUPA?

Interesting. Here I thought it was just HSDPA. Makes me want to move to at&t just a bit more.

hsupa on 850 makes me want to switch for my data card too :P Especially since my areas sprint towers aparently only have 1 T1 for data as I can never get over 1275kbps...

how would denver be HSUPA? they are one of the last cities to get 3G, and they go right to the good stuff? lol...att defies logic once again.

Yup. Minneapolis waits forever to get 3G and finally gets something good. I'm going to ditch my pearl for a v3xx. And HSUPA is that capable of 3.6?

Am I missing something? Is HSUPA differ form HSPA, or is this just a differ way of typing it?

I do know that HSPA is all over NYC five borough area. If HSUPA is differ, what speeds are we talking here? And will it affect battery life even more?

I'm also curious is HSUPA capable cellsite =s 3.6mbps

HSDPA + HSUPA = HSPA

So, since HSDPA was deployed first, as soon as those sites get HSUPA, they automatically become HSPA.

Posted by: EtherealRemnant

The way I understand it, HSDPA is download, HSUPA is upload, kind of how Rev 0 is a major upgrade to download on CDMA but Rev A is a major upgrade to upload.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

I know its a bit early to ask but has anyone heard anything about HSPA+? Those speeds sound stellar, though they'd no doubt need fiber pipes running to each tower to provide the speeds it can offer.

I heard HSUPA speeds seen in Santa Clara. Anyone can confirm that one?
I did hear Manhattan being one of the early deployment spots for HSUPA but then there is no confirmation on that?
As bobolito explained, HSDPA as initially described in Rel.5 of 3GPP calls for upto 7.2 Mbps on the downlink and 384 Kbps on the Uplink. HSUPA as described i Rel.6 of the spec calls for increasing the UL speeds to 3.6 Mbps. Most commercial units are initially expected to support 1.5 Mbps on the UL. The ATT website says their network will permit upto 800 Kbps on the uplink with HSUPA when and where available.

How does that defy logic, exactly? They are the newest, live markets with the newest equipment.
