Total markets now stands at 74, as carrier claims more than half UK population coverage
EE, currently the UK's onlyLTEprovider, has announced that its 4G network has been switched on in twelve new markets. The new towns includeAshton-under-Lyne, Chatham, Gillingham, High Wycombe, Merthyr Tydfil, Oldham, Oxford, Rochester, Runcorn, Sale, Stafford and Wigan. This brings the total number of markets to 74, and EE says the new additions mean its 4G services now cover more than 50 percent of the UK population.
The carrier recently launched its first rolling 30-day SIM-only4G contracts, allowing Brits to try out its LTE network without committing to a hefty year-long plan. Competing LTE offerings from rival networks are expected to arrive later this year, with Vodafone targeting September, O2 hoping for a summer launch and Three aiming for the end of the year.
Meanwhile, EE plans to begin trialing the parts of the fasterLTE-Advanced standard before the end of 2013.
