14 DAY TRIAL // Today, UK-based wireless carrier EE officially announced the availability of its 4G LTE network in Cumbria, so as to provide users in one of UK's most rural areas with access to its fast mobile services.
The network will provide people in this area with access to download speeds between 8-12Mbps, while also capable of reaching peak speeds of over 20Mbps, the wireless carrier announced.
EE's existing 4G network, launched on the 1800MHz band, should provide users with the fast data speeds that they require both at home and at work.
The service is available for users in the country at costs starting as low as £15.99 per month, yet EE is committed to evaluating the usage in the area so as to come up with new plans, specifically tailored for users there.
“4G home and office devices will be offered to help optimize the high-speed broadband experience for customers in one of the UK's most rural environments,” the wireless carrier announced.
Furthermore, the wireless services provider announced that its 4G network is set to provide coverage to around 84% of the population across the Northern Fells by this summer.
EE has been trialing its 4G mobile broadband network in Cumbria since May 2012, and claims that the average speeds that users will enjoy here will indeed be in the range of 8-12 Mbps on the downlink.
“Using our dedication to innovation and engineering excellence, we are overcoming the challenges of delivering rural connectivity to launch a 4G mobile broadband service in Cumbria,” Olaf Swantee, chief executive officer, EE, said.
“This is yet another big step in advancing digital communications in the UK. We're offering one of the fastest mobile networks in the world, and are pioneering how to make superfast broadband available to homes and businesses that currently have little or no connectivity.”
Consumers and businesses in the Northern Fells can head over to the wireless carrier’s website to learn more info on what the service can deliver to them. They can already register for 4G broadband as the service rolls out across the region.
