We thought it was a little too good to be true: Swedish analysts Northstream have tested TeliaSonera AB (Nasdaq: TLSN)'s LTE network in Sweden and found it is not quite as fast as the carrier was initially promising. TeliaSonera said when it launched the network in Stockholm and Olso, Norway, in December that users could expect to experience data network speeds between 20Mbit/s and 80Mbit/s. Northstream said that it "never exceeded 12 Mbps in downlink" in countless tests, which is much more in line with what other carriers have said. (Verizon has also promised between 5Mbit/s and 12Mbit/s on the downlink.) The "frequent drops in service" don't sound so great either, but, as Northstream says, it is "early days" for the wireless broadband technology.
