Vodafone is toupgrade network
speedsin its most congested UK areas to 14.4Mbps, the
mobile network operator said today.
Busy areas of London, Birmingham and Liverpool have already
received upgraded sites, and the roll out will continue across the
UK.
While 14.4Mbps is the theoretical peak rate, customers can
expect to see typical speeds of between 1Mbps and 4Mbps with a
practical maximum speed of 10.8Mbps.
Customers' average speeds will vary depending on the strength of
signal they have and the number of people using the same cell
site.
The move will give more customers greater reliability and better
speeds on their mobile broadband devices, Vodafone said.
Most users will not have to upgrade their devices.
