EE has today announced the launch of its first own-brand mobile broadband device, offering customers 5G internet speeds on the go.

The service will offer customers broadband speeds as fast as fibre with average download speeds of 150Mb/s.

EE’s 5G service is currently available in 112 towns and cities across the UK. In the last 12 months, EE has more than doubled its amount of 5G sites in key cities such as Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, and Edinburgh.
