A UMTS contract comparison is worthwhile. Who is much on travel and don’t want to miss out on the Internet, has become already familiar with the topic of UMTS. The so-called third generation standard is also referred to as 3 G UMTS. The predecessor of UMTS was GSM. With GSM, it was already possible to surf on the Internet. However, the speed it was, respectively, this speed is for today’s standards no longer sufficient.

GSM allows only maximum speeds of 56Kbit / s. If you consider that some Web sites about 200Kbit are big, so you can imagine how big is the loading time. The successor of UMTS, however, speeds of up to 384 kbit / s can reach. This is a 7fache increase in comparison to the GSM speed. Thanks to UMTS, larger websites in a matter of seconds can be loaded.

Mind you, that whole happens on the road, so in the car or in the Cafe. In addition to the already fast speed of UMTS there are various extensions. HSDPA for example is the Data Turbo for UMTS, maximum speeds of up to 7.2 Mbit / s can be achieved. This speed is comparable with a medium DSL connection. HSUPA is an additional extension. HSUPA is for the upload responsible and allowed / achieved speeds of up to 1.45 Mbit / s. Thus their quality quickly for example photo reporters and therefore also very expensive to send pictures to the editorial. As already evident is worth before conclusion of the contract a corresponding UMTS comparison. This UMTS comparison shows especially quick and simple manner the right UMTS on tariff. So, nothing in the way is the surfing experience. Torsten Heinsius
