January 26, 2010 | During last week we heard about disappointing results of the first tests of LTE and a number of bloggers mentioned it across cyberspace, But it seems that It was not a complete picture.

Northstream performed some additional tests and said followings

"We have continued our live testing of LTE over the weekend and today, and we have tried it on buses and in cars and in other places in the city, indoor and outdoor, and we’re happy to say that we experience data rates above 25 Mbps more often than below, and we’ve reached 45 Mpbs downlink on some occasions. Maybe our blog posting made an impact after all.. :)

So to conclude, we would like to emphasise that we do not claim that our test methods are very scientific. Our results should preferably not be interpreted as such either. That time will come, and rest assured we will be there, but for now we’re just trying out the service as “simple users” and we’re impressed it works, encouraged by the bitrates we are now measuring and convinced that in due course early flaws will be corrected."
