EE roll out 4G to 10 more UK towns today – 19 more by Christmas
If you’re waking up this morning in Bath, Cambridge, Northampton, or seven more lucky towns throughout the country, you may have noticed that the internet on your phone is faster than usual – EE have expanded their 4G coverage. Read on to find out where.
Today’s rollout covers ten more towns: Bath, Bournemouth, Brighton, Cambridge, Darlington, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Northampton, Poole, Portsmouth and Redcar – this, of course, supplements 131 existing 4G cities and towns (London, Birmingham, et al).
What’s more is that by Christmas – so in the next three weeks, EE also plan to have 4G coverage sorted for a further 19 places: Aberdeen, Braintree, Cheltenham, Chester, Dundee, Durham, Exeter, Gloucester, Grimsby, Ipswich, Lincoln, Middlesbrough, Norwich, Peterborough, Plymouth, Stoke-on-Trent, Swansea, Swindon and York.
This is a nice gift to anyone receiving an iPhone 5S for Christmas – apparently the EE 4G network now reaches 60% of the UK population. It’s also a stark reminder to urban tech journalists like myself that not everyone gets the shiny new toys as quick as we city-dwellers.
Personally, I’m hoping we’ll reach a point where EE are so successful that they’ll pull all of those hideous Kevin Bacon adverts – just destroy whatever dirt you have on him EE, do the right thing and stop him from having to go through with this depressing charade!
