Not just contract, but network infrastructure. In South Africa, 42Mbps towers are all over, but AFAIK the highest speedtest.net download rate on any of these was still under 7.2Mbps.

Then again the extra band is just as useless
Unless you are in the US, and want to buy a phone for use on T-Mobile, and would prefer to have 3G/HSDPA over GPRS.

In which case, HSDP+ support is much less important.

(Or, do I not know enough about the T-Mobile/AT&T merger, and T-Mobile's 3G/HSDPA network?).
