Cincinnati Bell Starts Marketing HSPA+ 4G

Jul 5, 2011, 6:09 PM by Eric M. Zeman

Cincinnati Bell today announced the launch of its HSPA+ 4G network. Cincinnati Bell said that 4G service is now available in its home market of Cincinnati, and customers can roam onto the networks of its partners for 4G service when not in Cincinnati. Cincinnati Bell claims to offer service with 10Mbps average download speeds, which is twice as fast as what Cincinnati Bell says Sprint, AT&T, and T-Mobile can offer. In connection with the HSPA+ network launch, Cincinnati Bell announced that the new Huawei Ascend X 4G can make use of the network. The Ascend X 4G is a Android smartphone with a 4.1-inch display, 1GHz SnapDragon processor, 5 megapixel camera 720p video recording, HDMI out, and Android 2.2 Froyo. The Huawei Ascend X 4G costs $99.99 with a contract or $350 at full retail price.
