The next generation broadband is here, 3G is replaced by 4G which will give quicker speeds and higher reliability.
The Government has lately invested a lot more cash into the UK's broadband development, with chancellor George Osborne announcing the creation of 10 "super-connected" cities with 80-100Mbps fixed-line broadband & "high speed 4G broadband" mobile connections promised for London, Edinburgh, Belfast and Cardiff and 6 more cities to be announced in 2012 and 2013. Rural users were also promised help from a ?20 million Rural Community Broadband Fund, with a promise of more funding if the original scheme "proved effective."
In actual fact the cause of the delay with the 4G network is as a result of infighting between the networks, however Ofcom are advising it's the technical difficulties. "Illegal" auctions, was the cry from O2 concerning the 4G auctions. Vodafone has advised a delay to the proceedings & 3 have mentioned that further delays will harm the rural areas preparing of the 4G network.
Individuals want to jump onto the 4g network as soon as achievable, in order to take the pressure off the confined 3G network. An infrastructure report, published earlier this month, revealed it is conducting checking into coverage on all significant UK roads. In October the Treasury announced it will make ?150 million obtainable to improve 4G broadband mobile coverage with the intention of increasing UK coverage from 95 to 100 per cent, with rural areas focused on.
It's a damning evaluation of the UK's mobile broadband services when specialists advise shoppers to get fixed line broadband to boost their connections but, thanks to increased 3G broadband demand and the delayed 4G auction, it looks like it's going to get a lot worse before it improves. There are few solutions for business owners on 4G so most are going with 3G & where possible a fixed line connection, while charges stay as high as they're.
