Vodafone have doubled their mobile broadband speed up to a theoretical maximum of 14.4 MB and makes Vodafone the first of the mobile broadband operators in the UK to offer the these speeds.
Although the maximum of 14.4 Mb is highly unlikely that users will be able to achieve these speeds Vodafone say that the maximum users are likely to receive is around 10.8 Mb with the typical mobile broadband speeds customers receive to be between 1-4 Mb.
The areas that will benefit from the speed increases are where there is the highest demand, so parts of London, Birmingham and Liverpool already have it available with other parts of the UK getting it on an ongoing basis.
Jeni Mundy, the Chief Technology Officer for Vodafone UK said:
“Customers trust us to deliver a mobile network that they can rely on – wherever they are and whether they are individuals, or a small, medium or large business. Today’s network upgrade means customers can be reassured we’re consistently enhancing the quality of our network in response to demand.”
