More people in the UK are going to get mobile internet speeds comparable with South Korea and US with the launch of EE’s next generation 4G+ network.

The new technology, called carrier aggregation or LTE Advanced (LTE A) allows devices to connect to two different 4G mobile signals at the same time, doubling the capacity in the densest populated areas.

It will ensure that even on packed trains the data network remains strong, removing frustrating overcapacity issues coque iphone 6 portefeuille as commuters all attempt coque iphone 7 plus incassable to access the internet at the same time.

Vodafone announced the start of its LTE A rollout on 15 October, in Birmingham, Manchester and London, doubling capacity for coque samsung a8 2018 fleur its users.

‘UK is now back to being a world leader’

“The UK is now back to being coque iphone 6 caoutchouc a world leader in mobile networks,” said EE’s chief executive, coque iphone 6 transparente rigide Olaf Swantee. “Just two years since we were behind every developed market from the US to Japan, we’ve invested in innovation, driven competition and coque iphone 4s claire’s given people coque samsung a8 disney in London a mobile coque iphone x rouge network that’s as faster than almost any coque iphone 6 spiderman other coque iphone 6 pogba in the world, and even faster than most fibre broadband available here.”

EE had samsung galaxy a8 2018 coque 360 been trialling the technology in London’s Tech City as a replacement for fixed line broadband for startups in the area. The new network is capable coque samsung a8 loup of delivering theoretical data speeds of up to 300Mbps, although real world speeds will peak at approximately 150Mbps.

Regular speeds will be around 90Mbps, coque iphone 6s paillette liquide five times faster the average UK broadband speed, which is 17.8Mbps according to data from Ofcom.

“While the faster the peak speeds the coque iphone 6s blanche better the experience on the network, what we’re doing is doubling the capacity of our network so that every customer can watch video streaming at 5Mbps no matter how coque iphone 6 plus personnalisé busy it gets,” Tom Bennett, EE’s director coque iphone 6s lumineuse of network services explained to the Guardian. “Only those with compatible devices, including the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 coque iphone 5c silicone 3d and Galaxy Alpha, will be able to use 4G+, but every customer will benefit from the doubling of capacity and will see their average speeds increase.”

EE has the largest 4G network in the UK covering 300 towns and cities and 75% of the population and with six million subscribers. O2 and Three have yet to confirm plans to follow EE and Vodafone.

Up to speed

The new LTE Advanced technology brings the UK up to speed with some of coque samsung a8s the fastest and coque de samsung galaxy a8 most connected countries in the world, including South Korea, Japan and the US, leapfrogging most of the mobile networks in Europe. Vodafone Spain rolled out LTE A in three cities this year, while Swisscom is preparing to launch LTE A using coque iphone 6 argent a similar strategy to EE next year.

Only 4G+ compatible devices on the company’s more expensive 4GEE Extra plans will see the top speeds. But EE said that almost all the smartphones and tablets sold on its network since the iPhone 5 in September 2012 were capable of connecting to the coque iphone 6 s apple new 4G mobile signal coque iphone 5 noir on the 2.6GHz frequency to take advantage of the increased capacity…
