Commenting on EE’s next phase of its 4G network, with Cat 9 technology, Ernest Doku, telecoms expert at Uswitch.com, says: “Hot on the heels of last week’s news that Finnish firm Elisa says it has achieved a 1.9 gigabit-per-second (Gbps) speed on a test network, today’s announcement from EE looks like true superfast speeds might now be a step closer to reality in the UK. Download speeds of more than 360Mbps equates to downloading a DVD-quality movie in less than two minutes or a MP3-format music album in a few seconds, coverage permitting.
“Further roll-outs are planned in London, Birmingham and Manchester, but many customers – of both EE and the other big providers – still struggle to secure decent 3G coverage and speeds. The real test will be their ability to push the market forward without leaving those already long suffering blank-spot and super-slow speed customers even further behind. And they’ll need to be able to deliver at an attractive and competitive price.”
