4G

Competing phone companies will soon start to deliver superfast mobile broadband (4G) services in the UK, following the successful auction of ‘spectrum’ by Ofcom.
Consumer services are expected to launch by late spring or summer 2013.
Ofcom designed the 4G mobile auction to promote competition. A special obligation applying to one of the successful bidders will see mobile broadband rolled out to at least 98% of people in villages, towns and cities across the UK.
On these pages you can find out more about 4G, its benefits and likely coverage.
