EE will bring first 4G LTE network in the UK by the end of the year

Carriers over at the US are tripping over themselves to brag about their 4G LTE networks, but adoption across the pond has been limited. Things are changing though - Everything Everywhere is rebranding itself EE and will be rolling out the first 4G LTE in the UK.



The service, called "4GEE", will cover a third of the population by the end of this year. As you would expect, that means covering the big cities - Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Hull, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Nottingham, Newcastle, Sheffield and Southampton.

4GEE will be available to phones and laptops. Five LTE-enabled phones will be available initially - the Samsung Galaxy S III LTE, the new Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820, the HTC One XL and the Huawei Ascend P1 LTE.

Huawei will also be providing a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and a USB stick.



EE has plans to roll out fiber broadband to homes and promises lower prices if you get both fiber broadband and 4GEE.

The T-Mobile and Orange brands won't disappear - their stores will remain intact, but you'll have to go with EE if you want 4G.
