HSDPA - Nice indeed

I can say from personal experience and frequent use, HSDPA is really quite nice. I have a Swisscom Unlimited Data card (GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSDPA), which I use quite frequently. I recall that the first time it ever found an HSDPA network was in the Edinburgh Airport, and I was surprised and pleased with the improved speed. Since then, as described in this article, HSDPA connections have become more and more common - except, in my experience, in the United States. As recently as a trip to Florida over Christmas, I have been unable to get any connection in the U.S. better than EDGE.
