Is this the true speed of my HSPDA? It utilizes a sim card and I use this when Im on the go or when im not in the office. The 3g usb connection states that the speed is 7.2mbps.... is that enough for streaming?

A little late, but may still be of use.

What are you streaming, audio, video 240p, 480p, + ?

7.2 is the max of Rel.7 C7, but it can go faster on the network and there are some devices that have higher category ratings allowing 14 and 21 Mbs, but it depends on both hardware and network deployment (and an entire network might not be the same).

7.2Mb should be good for SD video and any audio streaming, HD is problematic especially since that 7.2Mb is usually not reached (I see usually 4-6max) and usually it's biased for download and upload is 2-4Mb typical, also there tends to be far more strobbing in TDMA than in CDMA so you will get better results with something that can take advantage of caching rather than being right against the edge of the bandwidth.
