3UK are currently trialing the 21Mb/s HSPA+ Huawei "WebCube" but only in Leeds, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
And it's wifi only with no ethernet ports.

I lost Three coverage overnight on my iPhone 4S about a week ago though it mysteriously had reappeared by the morning. Just happened to do a speed test on a cell site that typically achieved around 1-1.5Mbps - now pumping out close to 10Mbps over HSPA+.

It's fantastic that there's still one network thinking about its users and offering decent speeds with unlimited usage.

Im waiting for this to happen to me lol in the right position i could get 4 meg last week (HSDPA) got a text from three 4 days ago saying on the 3/2/12 you may suffer loss of service were upgrading your mast this will be done as quick as possible (i thought that meant HSPA+) but i never lost signal once and my SGS2 still only gets H and now seams to only get about 1.8meg lol so i got a downgrade haha.

Hi folks

3uk are actually rolling out 42MBPS HSPA+ this year which in my view will provide a good stopgap until we finally get 4G in hopefully 2013.

Trouble is I don't see a lot of devices that can support this speed, does anyone know of any either now or coming soon.

Well a little google and the HTC Amaze 4G and Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G both support 42Mbps HSPA+ (they are not 4G as the names suggests).

Was looking at this just this evening.

Netgear have launched the 42Mbps model but predictably, it's for the US and the Netherlands. You can't get it here (yet)

In my (regular) searches I've yet to find an HSPA+ capable router of the type that you put the SIM card into. Plenty in other countries, nothing here, so for the meantime I'm capped at 7.2Mbps despite the cell being able to deliver 11Mbps+ seen with a dongle.

If anyone knows of a UK compatible HSPA+ router (which accepts the SIM card, no dongle) I'd love to know.

I just got this on a 21 mast in middle of hospital so i'm quite impressed.
