EE\u2019s 4G network currently covers around 45% of the UK population, which should reach 55% by summer 2013 and extend to 98% by 2014.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Bill Moore, Rootmetrics President and CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>EE&#8217;s 4G network has lived up to its own promises: speeds are meeting EE\u2019s pledges and indoor performance is reasonably good. At the same time, the technology is more powerful than the bar that has been set, and there should be room for further improvement.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When it comes to availability of EE 4G in city centres, the picture is positive if not universally excellent. We see the percentage of 4G improving in line with other (international) launches, but there are some notable variations like people in Cardiff getting a better service than those in Sheffield, despite paying the same<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The speeds given above also included times when the signal roamed its way over to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> connection (i.e. when the 4G side became unavailable). Thankfully RootMetrics noted that the scores were much more promising when the 3G figures were stripped out to reveal 4G-only data. In this situation Cardiff returned 16.2Mbps and Liverpool hit 14.4Mbps.<\/p>\n<p>As usual any anecdotal speedtests like this should be taken with a pinch of salt but the results are still promising. On the other hand it could mean that EE has very few actual 4G customers. Now we just need EE&#8217;s rivals to launch 4G, which should happen around the summer or late spring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RootMetrics has posted the results from 95,672 separate speedtests of EE&#8217;s new 4G (LTE 1800MHz) based Mobile Broadband network in the UK cities of Liverpool, Cardiff and Sheffield.
