Half of the UK now covered by EE’s 4G network

The UK is still lagging pretty far behind when it comes to 4G network coverage. We currently only have one carrier, EE, and only major towns and cities have access to fast 4G internet speeds.
Even though 4G has been available in the UK since last year, large parts of the country are still stuck without a choice of network speed. Fortunately things are slowly starting to improve, and EE is apparently more determined than ever to have you covered.
Today the company has announced that 13 additional locations now fall under its 4G network. The new high speed area now includes: Bradford, Bingley, Doncaster, Dudley, Harpenden, Leicester, Lichfield, Loughborough, Luton, Reading, Shipley, St Albans and West Bromwich.

This brings the total number of regions supported up to 50, which EE claims now covers around 50 percent of the UK’s population. A further update is expected by June, bringing 4G to an additional 30 towns and cities by the start of summer.
It’s great that the UK is finally starting to see the coverage required to really be considered a 4G country, now all we need is a little competition to make the prices a little more reasonable.
