Spouse Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'm using a 3G data plan from True on my Android phone but always just see the H or H+ icon. The connection is pretty slow. However, the other day I saw the 3G icon briefly. Does this mean I've not been connecting at a 3G speed? I'm in Bangkok and usually around Sukhumvit areas. Do you ever see the 3G sign? Thanks.

SoiBiker Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 H or H+ indicates HSDPA - this is faster than 3g. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

build6 Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 all the "indicators" you see displayed just indicate the "link" speed, but unfortunately that's not the only thing that matters. It's possible to have a fast link but slow speeds, if the servers are throttling your data speed, for example. It's a "necessary but insufficient" thing - if your link is "H+" then you can get HSPA speeds, but whether you are is a different matter. If you have data allocation to spend on this, you might want to run a speed test to get an indication/estimation of what kind of real speed you're getting.
