HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) is a packet-based mobile telephony protocol used in 3G UMTS radio networks to increase data capacity and speed up transfer rates - also known as 3.5G. HSDPA, which evolved from the WCDMA standard, provides download speeds at least five times faster than earlier versions of UMTS, allowing users of HSDPA networks a broader selection of video and music downloads.
HSPDA specifies data transfer speeds of up to 14.4 Mbps per cell for downloads and 2 Mbps per cell for uploads.
In practice, users are more likely to experience throughput speeds of 400-700 Kbps, with bursts of up to 1 Mbps.
