OT: Telus "3G" network?

[Tyler Aviss]

I notice that Telus is currently advertising that they have "Canada's
largest 3G+ network".

http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/network/about.shtml

It then goes on to talk about their HSPA+ network and "3GPP" SIM cards.

There are wikipedia articles on 3G and HSPA here:
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Speed_Packet_Access
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3G


I had thought that 3G was tied to GSM networks (telus being CDMA or
AFAIK moving towards upgrades through WCDMA). Can somebody relieve me
of confusion on this? How do 3G, GDM, (w)CDMA, and SIM cards etc all
relate to each other?
