First Belgian 4G test successful

On april 1st, Belgian Telenet was the first provider of telecommunication services in the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Grand Duchy of Luxemburg) to test 4G technology. 4G allows users of a smartphone or laptop to surf faster on the internet.

Download speeds of more than 20 Mbps (peak around 32 Mbps?) were reached, which is comparable to regular wired networks. Also, uploads of about 6 Mbps should be possible, which is more than any wired internet connection allows.
