High speed uplink packet access
High Speed Uplink Packet Access ( HSUPA ) is a transmission method of the UMTS mobile radio standard , which enables higher data transmission rates in the uplink and shortens the round trip times (often referred to as ping ). With HSUPA, up to 5.76 Mbit / s could be achieved in Category 6 and up to 23 Mbit / s in Category 9 (Release 9). HSUPA is part of Release 9 of UMTS.

Germany
German mobile phone providers have been expanding their network to be HSUPA-capable since mid-2007. T-Mobile and Vodafone have already largely carried out this expansion and are providing an uplink rate of up to 1.45 Mbit / s. O₂ started the HSUPA expansion at the end of 2008, while E-Plus has not yet announced any expansion plans. According to the product data sheet from Klarmobil GmbH, klarmobil.de offers its "XSStick W14" surf stick HSUPA with up to 5.76 Mbit / s. Vodafone also offers a surf stick with up to 5.76 Mbit / s for contract customers (K3765-HV), but does not mention HSUPA directly. For prepaid customers, Vodafone only offers up to 384 kbit / s (stick: K3565 ).
Austria
HSUPA has been supported by all network operators in Austria since 2007.
