Super-fast 4G internet allows uninterrupted on-the-go access.
EE, formerly known as Everything Everywhere, launched its range of 4G products and services in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Southampton and Manchester.
The 4G network, which offers speeds up to five times faster than 3G, will be available on Apple's iPhone 5 as well as devices from HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Huawei.

It allows uninterrupted on-the-go access to the web, downloading of high definition movies in minutes and the streaming of TV programmes without frustrating buffering.
The launch comes amid criticism of EE's 4G pricing plans, which will hit customers on certain tariffs with additional charges if they exceed download allowances. The cheapest EE tariff offers just 500mb worth of downloads each month – the equivalent to two one-hour programmes on the BBC iPlayer. Any more costs extra.

“Fasty, Thanks for that, have just spat coffee everywhere laughing at your comment. The number of people I have to dodge because they are glued to their phones while wandering around town is unbelievable. They are in their own little world and oblivious to those around them.”

“"Super-fast 4G products"
Does this mean I'll be able to cross the road quicker while staring at my phone?”

“I would imagine that we should be seeing some effects already.
They are going to be testing the service for them to release it to the public i would assume.
Might be a reason why my freeview changes channel by itself.
It normally jumps to a BBC channel but the last time it did it,it went to Babestation of all places.
I was not impressed :/
I found an interesting Interesting blog/read here about Sky tv and advertising.Not related to this issue but still kind of cheeky if you ask me.

“I have read about this too.
There are filters you can put in line apparantly but i dont think they will do much good.
They are not going to know the full effects until the switch on.
Which will be just in time for Christmas for us lucky Derby residents.
Personally,i think they should sort out getting the whole country connected on 3g before they start on a new network.
I think its disgusting that people cannot even get a decent signal for their tv`s and mobiles in this day and age.”

“Is it true that 4G interferes with Freeserve boxes? What can freeserve viewers do?”
