Mine ended in 4, so I suspect it was cheap. HSPA+ in yichang and Chongqing. Edge and 3 g on the Yangtze river between those two cities using china Unicom. I also got 3-4G outside of Shanghai and Chongqing, roughly 2.5 hours drive into the wilderness including the Dezu world heritage site. A VPN allowed me to watch amazon prime video with this solution. Overall I thought the China coverage from Shanghai to Chongqing was the equal of anywhere in Europe we have been. YMMV
