Question on Mobile Broadband

Hi Folks,

This is a general question that raised in me. I'm using a BSNL 3g data plan, I'm supposed to be in another state(another network circle) for some days. There I tried the mobile network, where the 3G broadband(HSPA/WCDMA) is automatically changed to 2G broadband(EDGE) ie., I'm unable to access the 3G broadband. I don't know why? Could anyone pls clarify me........

    The roaming network doesn't support 3G - in such cases you are forced to 2G network.

    No change. 3G networks support 2G but not the other way round.

    Here are the speed ranges of the various mobile wireless strandards commonly used in the US today:

    GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) 2G -- 9.6Kbps
    GPRS (General packet radio services) 2.5G -- 35Kbps to 171kbps
    EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) 2.75G -- 120Kbps to 384Kbps
    UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) 3G -- 384Kbps to 2Mbps
    HSPA (software upgrade to UMTS) 3.5G -- 600Kbps to 10Mbps, averages 1-3Mbps
    WiMAX/LTE "4G" -- 3Mbps to 6Mbps average, 10Mbps+ peak download speeds.
