"We are really excited to offer residents and businesses in these areas a unique opportunity to enjoy 4G speeds using our wireless networks," said Nicholas James CEO at now Broadband. "Our services offer a truly flexible, hassle free alternative to fixed line broadband services – whether it’s at home, work or a customer Wi-Fi solution."
Although now Broadband has beaten EE to launching the UK's first 4G network, the offering is different. Instead of 4G for devices like smartphones, now Broadband provides a fixed wireless 4G LTE service as an alternative to fixed broadband for homes and businesses.
