4G arrives in Exeter before Christmas

Mobile phone network EE will bring 4G mobile broadband to Exeter before Christmas.

EE is the first mobile network to bring 4G to Exeter and will see customers get speeds up to five times faster than the current 3G network.

Lisa Perez, Regional Manager for the West Country, EE, said: “The arrival of 4G mobile in Exeter is great news for our customers. 4G from EE is like having fibre broadband to your mobile phone, and allows customers to access the content they care about without the frustration of pages being slow to load, or apps not connecting.”

In a survey of EE customers 39% say they will buy their gifts on their smartphone or tablet this year – up from 15% last year – which the company say shows a growing desire for high speed connection.

EE launched the UK’s first 4G mobile network and is the UK’s largest and fastest network. The EE stores in the area offer residents and businesses mobile and Fibre Broadband services from EE, Orange and T-Mobile.

Olaf Swantee, Chief Executive Officer, EE, said: “From online banking and mobile shopping, to streaming music and using maps, 4G is enabling us to do more of our favourite things quickly and easily on the go.

“Smartphones and tablets on 4GEE are going to be a very popular present this Christmas as people across the UK continue to embrace mobile living and we make the superfast service available in even more places.”
