EE 5G is now available in 50 locations around the UK after the mobile network hit the switch in six more cities.
After adding 14 new locations to the tally last month, EE is showing the north east of England some love with Hull, Leeds, Newcastle, Nottingham, Sheffield and Sunderland gaining access.
As well as the new locations, EE is also boosting its offering in some areas that experience serious footfall, meaning stronger connectivity at busy times. Those locations include London Euston and Cardiff Central train stations station, as well as Bath Street in Glasgow and Belfast’s Kingspan Stadium.
EE isn’t resting on its laurels after reaching the 50 towns and cities by the end of 2019. It says it is targeting 70 locations by the end of March next year. The company hasn’t announced those locations at the time of writing.

Adding 5G to more cities and towns – and expanding our 5G coverage in each place – is helping us to always deliver the best mobile experience to our customers.”
