EE has been named the RootScore Award Winner in Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow by RootMetrics

 

EE has been named the RootScore Award Winner in Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow by RootMetrics, an independent consumer advocate.

Over 26,000 mobile performance tests were completed in Belfast and Edinburgh, and over 30,000 in Glasgow, comparing the performance of EE, Vodafone, O2 and Three. EE had the strongest overall performance for Belfast, Edinburgh and Glasgow coming top for Mobile Internet Performance in all three cities. EE also came top for Call Performance in Glasgow and joint-first in Belfast and Edinburgh, as well as joint-first for Text Performance in all three cities.

The report findings showed average download speeds, combining both 3G and 4G, of 17.1Mbps and average upload speeds of 11Mbps for EE customers in the Edinburgh region. These results were almost 10Mbps faster for downloads than any other mobile operator.

EE first rolled out 4G services in Edinburgh and Glasgow in October 2012, and launched double-speed 4G services in both cities earlier this month. EE launched in Belfast in December 2012. EE 4G services enable local residents and businesses to access the web on the go in an instant; download large email attachments quicker than ever; hold video calls; watch live TV on the move without buffering; and play live multiplayer games on the go.
