Vodafone will be piloting its new mobile broadband service in Reading, Berkshire. The mobile phone giant, whose global headquarters are based in near-by Newbury, will be trialling its super-fast mobile internet service in six locations across the UK. The service is targeted at businesspeople and those on the move. A USB dongle connects your laptop to the internet.
The new service, already available in parts of London and at major airports, can achieve broadband speeds comparable to those of a fixed-line connection. According to Vodafone, the new service brings customers download speeds of up to 14 times faster and upload speeds up to 22 times faster than a standard 3G connection.
Alec Howard, head of PC connectivity at Vodafone UK, said: “As we invest significantly in rolling out improved speed and capacity, mobile broadband can not only help grease the wheels of industry in Reading but is also ideal for students and new home owners.
With our predictable pricing and seamless quick set up, there has never been a better time to be with Vodafone.”
