EE Expands 4G LTE Mobile Broadband Network to 18 More UK Towns
Mobile network operator EE has started October 2014 by announcing that another batch of 18 towns across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and England can now receive their “superfast” 4G (4GEE – LTE at 1800MHz) based Mobile Broadband service, including Prince Harry’s old training grounds at the Royal Military Academy in Sandhurst.
Overall more than 75% of the United Kingdom’s population have now been put within reach of EE’s 4G service (i.e. a total of 281 large towns/cities and more than 2,500 villages/small towns) and this is anticipated to rise dramatically by the end of 2014.

The latest batch of upgrades include Abingdon, Ashton-In-Makerfield, Banbury, Brownhills, Corringham, Faversham, Fleetwood, Formby, Hebburn, Helensburgh, Hoddesdon, Holywood, Hythe, Prestatyn, Sandhurst, Spennymoor, Tilbury, Waltham Abbey, Warwick and Wombourne.
UPDATE 7:08am
Small correction to the number of towns (18 not 20), the mistake was made in EE’s original PR. Apparently Warwick and Banbury are not being launched today.
