It’ll be getting a little less grim up in the northern towns of Bradford, Doncaster and Dudley over the coming months, as they’re set to join the EE 4G LTE party early in 2013.
EE has announced plans to bring 17 new towns and cities online by next March, joining the original list of 16 due to come online by the end of 2012 in enjoying faster (and more expensive) ways of pulling down mobile data.
The new 4G locations are…
Bradford, Chelmsford, Coventry, Doncaster, Dudley, Leicester, Luton, Newport, Reading, Rotherham, St Albans, Sunderland, Sutton Coldfield, Walsall, Watford, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton
…all of which ought to be fully 4G operational by early next year. For those not in a lucky 4G area, EE says it’s still furiously upgrading its 3G network, claiming it’ll soon offer DC-HSPA and its near-4G speeds to 40 percent of all EE, Orange and T-Mobile users. [EE]
I still can’t believe they think 500MB a month will be enough for an entry level user on 4G, with a maximum of 3GB! If i have all that Bacony 4G goodness i’m sure i could find ways to use way more than 500MB in the first day!
Yep, I averaged at least 600MB a day, just doing normal things without video.
Wow, that porn must be highly compressed
dudley is northern?
Anything North of Watford is Northern and once you get beyond Manchester you may as well be in the third world
“…once you get to Manchester…”?
You obviously haven’t been to the midlands much.
I try to avoid it. What was your point?
You don’t need to go as far as Manchester to reach the third world. It is much closer than you think.
As a Northerner who has been to the South many times I can actually confirm that it is just as shit. You’re welcome.
As a Northerner, you’re opinions are invalid.
This is an automated message. Ross is Northern and has chosen to ignore you.
I take my definition of the north to be be anything further north than a road sign with an arrow that indicates ‘The North’. Going by this logic Oxford is technically in the north thanks to the sign on the A34
My definition of “south”:
“Those berks who f*ck things up for the rest of us”
I don’t think half the residents of those places even have computers, let alone telephones without wires
Just sort 3g for the whole of the uk before rolling this out, twerps!
why is the great border city Carlisle always forgotten about?
I don’t know, please do enlighten us……
Great article, but ‘Doncaster’ should be ‘Duncaster’.
