    No you can't. Just like gsm 850 is not the same as HSPA 850

    DC hardware isn't deployed at all cell sites therefore it may be a hit or miss ... What's your intersection?

    Rogers does not advertise DC-HSPA at all, so expect no faster than 21mbit when on HSPA.

    ^initially thats what i thought but when i saw the specs of the soon to be released FIDO version indicate DC; i started to wonder...

    ...can i check which BELLUS towers have DC enabled?

    ...If i were to unlock my 754S and use a BELLUS sim do i automatically access DC speeds or is it software dependent?

    I just went to my local Fido Corporate store and they couldn't get the system to process my FidoDollars for the LTE Hotspot. It kept spitting out one of two error messages: that the customer isn't eligible for the offer or that the LTE SIM card has been used, which isn't possible. The fido guy at the kiosk says we probably have to wait until LTE is switched on.

    Isn't LTE already switched on though?

    I would think so considering Rogers is already using it right?

    It's not officially launched at Fido yet.
