EE voted best network by Rootmetrics

So, the results are in and Rootmetrics have announced that EE is the best network here in the UK based on mobile internet, calls and texts tests taken all across the country.

In total over 840,000 results were put together and it is not just based on 4G speeds. We know EE are already blazing fast, but these results are based on reliability for calls and texts too.

EE 4G is now available in over 70% of the UK, over 175 towns and cities. The company shows no sign of slowing down over the coming months.

Best of all, it’s not just the new 4G network that the money is being spent on. A massive sum of cash has been put by to improve both the 3G and 2G networks which have been around for many years.

EE CEO, Olaf Swantee says..

“Today’s results show that the EE network gives customers everywhere in the UK the best mobile experience. This is down to our ongoing investment in introducing 4G, increasing 3G capacity and upgrading 2G, while also spending hundreds of millions on phone call quality. We encourage the most rigorous independent testing of mobile networks in the UK, and strive to set new standards in performance and reliability.”
