EE has turned on its 4G network in another nine areas across the UK, bringing the total number of towns and cities covered to 27.
The nine towns are Amersham, Bolton, Chelmsford, Hemel Hempstead, Southend-on-Sea, Stockport, Sunderland, Sutton Coldfield and Wolverhampton.
90 days after the service first launched, EE says 45 per cent of UK homes and businesses have access to its 4G network – ahead of its original schedule. 
“As the first operator to bring 4G to the UK it is important that we make it accessible to as much of the population as possible, as quickly as possible,” said EE CEO Olaf Swantee. “We continue to bring superfast mobile to more and more people, whether they’re using their devices outdoors or in their homes and offices, and to increase the speed and consistency of our 4G and 3G network across the UK.”
EE is, of course, still the only operator to offer 4G in the UK – the auction for the rest of the network spectrum, between a number of other operators and interested parties, is currently ongoing.
