EE brings 4G to Warrington, Basingstoke and 9 more towns

EE’s nationwide rollout of 4G services across the UK continues with fast mobile speeds landing in Warrington and Basingstoke.  

Other beachheads on EE’s 4G assault on the UK include: Aldershot, Basildon, Bracknell, Hitchin, Horsham, Leatherhead, Letchworth, Stevenage and Weston-super-Mare. 

Read Recombu Digital’s guide to 4G in the UKEE’s 4G network brings mobile broadband speeds of up to 40Mbps to these locations. Right now, only a handful of high-powered smartphones and mobile broadband dongles can tap into EE’s turbo-charged network. 

4G from EE is now available to over 55 per cent of the UK population. By the end of 2013, EE hopes to have 70 per cent of the population able to get 4G and 98 per cent coverage is promised by the end of 2014. 

EE has also kicked off its speed doubling programme this week. The top download speed of 40Mbps will be doubled to 80Mbps as the nationwide rollout continues. London’s Tech City is the first place in the UK to benefit from the speed boost.
