First 4G mobile phone signals go live in Telford
Superfast 4G from EE has launched today in Telford, the new speed 4G network will offer Telford businesses and residents mobile speeds typically five times faster than 3G.
EE is the new superfast 4G brand, from the company that runs the Orange and T-Mobile brands in the UK. The EE network is currently the only mobile operator in the UK offering superfast 4G.
Three, O2 and Vodafone all recently won frequencies auctioned by the Government to bring their 4G networks to the UK later this year.
Nick Lowe, Regional Manager for Telford, EE, said:
“The arrival of superfast 4G mobile in Telford is great news for residents and businesses in the area. I’m delighted that we’re getting access to 4G so soon after the launch of the service. A lot of mobile users with 4G-ready devices like the Apple iPhone 5 will now be able to upgrade to 4GEE and get the most out of their phone. As the first operator to bring 4G to the UK it’s great that we’re making it accessible to as much of the population as possible, as quickly as possible.”
4G from EE is available in 36 other towns and cities across the UK, covering over 45% of the population in just four months since the launch of the superfast service.
