In December, EE introduced 5G to six more major UK cities – Hull, Newcastle, Leeds, Nottingham, Sunderland, and Sheffield. Northampton, Stevenage, and Wakefield also got their first 5G network sites.
5G now covers more high footfall locations, including London Euston, Belfast’s Kingspan Stadium, and Cardiff Central station.
5G from EE is now live in 50 cities and large towns, which are more places than any other operator.
The rollout is set to continue, as EE passed its 2019 5G ambition and set its next target of more than 70 large towns and cities by March 2020 – just in time for the upcoming 5G device launches.
5G coverage by EE began back in May when EE launched 5G services in London, Edinburgh, Belfast, Cardiff, Birmingham, and Manchester. Since then, 5G coverage expanded on a daily basis.
EE introduced the first 4G network to the UK back in October of 2012. EE has also received extensive independent recognition – including being named the UK’s best network every year consistently since 2015 at The Mobile News Awards, The Mobile Choice Awards, The Mobile Industry Awards, and by RootMetrics.
