I find the notion of LTE that's faster than DSL somewhat amazing, still.

I'm really impressed you can get ~72Mbit down and ~4Mbit up. (closer to 8 up when you consider acks) Note also the relationship between bandwidth and latency at T+22...

Basically the swedish operators have more frequencies available to them than the US ones, and the country is more sparsely populated. Especially the 20Mhz available per operator in 2600MHz makes a huge difference. Even initial deployment of 4G in Sweden meant one was able to regularily get 80 megabit/s of download speed. Now with a lot of users this is of course less, but sometimes if you're alone in the cell you can still get this. I'm actually surprised that they only get 8 up, usually much more up speed should be possible.
