So, a couple of weeks back I decided to move from T-Mobile to EE. Although the initial roll out of 4G is limited at the minute, the cost was much the same, and I figured I'd spend a reasonable amount of time in areas with coverage.

The first opportunity to see LTE in action came last week, with a work trip to West Brom. As we drove up the M6 through Birmingham the LTE icon appeared, and firing up SpeedTest confirmed some pretty decent speeds.

A couple of days later I was in the Tescos in Tring (Tring it should be noted is not one of the 16 cities on EE's list!). Glancing at my phone, I noticed the three little letters sat where I would expect it to say 3G. SpeedTests confirmed an LTE connection! Having done some testing, there is LTE coverage between Cow Roast and the bottom half of Tring.

Whilst this is of limited use in itself (although I may do a speed comparison against Tesco's in store Wi-Fi), it does show that EE are expanding their LTE coverage outside the listed cities and bodes well for expansion in the new year. It will be interesting to watch...
