China mobile are currently testing their new
4G LTE service out in the South of
China which is pretty exciting news for all of
us who are fed up with slow connection speeds here in China, but just how
fast is
China Mobile's 4G
network? Try blazing fast!
China Mobile are rolling out their 4G
LTE testing quite literally in the South of China, by equipping buses with on board
WiFi which then connects the the companies 4G
network.
A Sina tech journalist managed to hop on one of these buses while empty to
test out just how
fast China's first 4G
LTE network actually is and was shocked by what he discovered!
While in transit the 4G enabled bus managed to peak at a
download speed of 60 Mbps with the average staying around 40 Mbps, however while parked up those figures nearly doubled with
download speeds reaching a super
fast 112 Mbps with an average rounding off to roughly 102 Mbps!
Those speeds are pretty impressive, however this test was conducted on an empty bus on a very early version of the China Mobile 4G infrastructure. It will be interesting to see just how fast China's 4G LTE is when it is finally released for all of us to use!
