Huge free EE speed boost will make your home broadband look embarrassingly slow

If you use the EE network then you should find your Android or iPhone device is getting a little faster from today. The UK firm, which is now owned by BT, has revealed that it's giving things an upgrade thanks to the launch of over 400 small cell installations across Britain.

These mini boosters are being placed in areas that are already congested by the large number of phones connected to the EE network. But that's not all as the company has also confirmed that seasonable hotspots - which get busy during certain periods of the year - are also getting the update.

EE is boasting that the investment will mean more users will see downloads in excess of 280Mbps when using their phones away from home. Incredibly, that's over three times faster than the current UK fixed-line broadband average.
