March 22 Car Software Updates
Hello Guys,
From Volvo Site. Updates from March 2022 3G internet connectivity no longer available in the U.S. and EU. Drivetrain optimisation adjustments. What does 3G no longer available means in practice? Does anyone know? Thanks.

It means that coverage is so good now with 4th and 5th Generation that 3 g can be switched off to save resources . most systems can read 3, 4 and 5G and choose the best signal in difficult areas .

I dont think Volvo's modem is 4G let alone 5G.

The above description would suggest to me that the older cars with 3G modems will no longer have an internet connection, but I don't really see why this would come via a software update :wq

the software update is to tell the car to stop blasting out a 3g signal trying to connect to a non existant network
