Mobile network operator EE has launched “double speed” 4G LTE in twelve British cities offering download speeds of 40Mbps via a new 2x20MHz LTE network. The speed increase has been aided by allocating more of EE’s spectrum to its LTE network — it’s now using 2x20MHz of 1800MHz spectrum instead of 2x10MHz. This brings theoretical […]
Mobile network operator EE has launched “double speed” 4G LTE in twelve British cities offering download speeds of 40Mbps via a new 2x20MHz LTE network.
The speed increase has been aided by allocating more of EE’s spectrum to its LTE network — it’s now using 2x20MHz of 1800MHz spectrum instead of 2x10MHz.
This brings theoretical transfer rates of up to 150Mbps, with real world speeds averaging around 30-40Mbps.
The new “double speed” 4G is available today in Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham and Sheffield, with Derby and Nottingham being two last-minute additions to the list.
