We're getting reports that EE's suffering a data outage across the country, with customers on the 4G EE network (not T-mobile or Orange for now), being hit with no data access. Is this happening to you? Read More >>

Mobile network EE, which was at the centre of a little storm over claims a market research company was offering to sell details of its users to the police, has advised everyone to calm down a little. It was anonymised data that wouldn't be able to identify or lead to the tracking of its users. Read More >>
For the first time since launch, EE's busted out some real subscriber numbers, and it seems not that many Britons have actually jumped on the 4G bandwagon yet. Only 318,000-odd people have plunked for one of EE's high-priced 4G tariffs, which in comparison to EE's total subscriber base of 13.7 million is still a drop in the ocean. Mind you, that is after only five months. Read More >>

The advertising watchdog has just given EE's budget arm, T-Mobile, a big slap across the chops over its claim of "unlimited" data on its Full Monty plans. According to the ASA, it's not actually unlimited because T-Mobile employs traffic management, which makes it, err, limited. Read More >>

EE's Olaf Swantee reckons the average 'heavy user' chews through only 1GB of data on T-Mobile's unlimited 3G plan, and just 1.4GB on EE's 4G network a month. That seems a tad on the light side to me, but how much mobile data do you eat up a month and on which network? Read More >>

Taking a leaf out of Virgin's book, EE's doubling your 4G speeds. What does that mean? If you're on LTE already, you'll see speeds supposedly hit 20Mbps on average, up from an average of 8Mbps currently, with a top theoretical outside-the-lab speed of 80Mbps. Now that really is fast. Read More >>

Here's an interesting stat courtesy of EE. Around half of the UK's population lives in and around just 50 towns and cities. And they're all now able to pay a premium to access EE's 4G mobile service. Read More >>
EE's extending its 4G rollout into the Cumbrian countryside meaning those without fibre, or even 'high speed' broadband for that matter, could just hook onto the wireless waves of LTE instead, with average speeds around 8-12Mbps and peaks of 20Mbps. Has rural high-speed internet finally arrived? Read More >>
This is getting a bit out of hand. Every network seems to be bumping up prices mid-contract, basically forcing everyone to pay more. EE's about to jack up prices by 3.3 per cent from April 10th, and there's nothing you can do about it, again. Read More >>

EE's storming rollout of 4G across the nation continues at a record pace, even if its subscriber numbers aren't quite as rocketing. Congratulations to Barnsley, Chorley, Coventry, Newport, Preston, Rotherham, Telford, Walsall, and Watford as you're all now 4G-enabled. That brings the total to 37 towns and cities across Britain covered by EE's LTE network. Read More >>

EE's CEO Olaf Swantee has shared some interesting stats at MWC today, which certainly make me feel better for not using my full 8GB each month. According to EE, 25 per cent of their 4G traffic comes from customers watching videos, with 11 per cent of those being YouTube videos. More stats to nibble on, below. Read More >>

Yes, this is it folks. The auction's over after 50 rounds of bidding, and now the networks have up until midnight tonight to fork out the collective £2.3 billion odd in cash. But who won what, and how much? Seems Vodafone was on a full-on 4G crusade. Read More >>
It looks like EE's much-hyped 4G network has failed to capture the hearts, minds and 24-month contracts of the nation, with its latest set of financial figures showing that new contracts at the end of 2012 actually fell compared with the previous quarter. Read More >>

Clearly forgetting that his company is currently bidding for an enormous chunk of 4G spectrum in the UK, Vodafone's chief exec Vittorio Colao has described 4G as being for "freaks" and claims he's not yet seeing any impact from EE's early doors launch. Colao said: "I haven't got reports of customers flying away to 4G," adding "The kind of people who are going for it are technology freaks." [Guardian] Read More >>

EE's progressive 4G network rollout is continuing at a rapid pace. It's just switched on LTE coverage in nine more towns, and now it's committed to delivering the blazing speeds of 4G to 27 more towns across the UK, including Oxford, Blackpool, Milton Keynes, and Guildford. Read More >>
