The ExpressCard has the ability to support maximum speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps and HSDPA/3G datacard a maximum of 1.8Mbps. Like many home broadband services it displays this theoretical maximum when first connected. Vodafone’s existing 3G broadband data network is designed around the 1.8 Mbps standard giving peak download speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps. Vodafone have introduced the 7.2Mbps standard across Reading, Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, selected London postcodes and UK Airports, offering typical speeds of 1.7 to 5.5Mbps.
