With the Summer Bank Holiday around the corner, Vodafone has improved its 4G mobile coverage in Bembridge so residents and local businesses as well as holidaymakers, can make the most of faster data speeds and more reliable calls.
The upgrade is part of Vodafone’s ongoing network modernisation programme to improve 4G and bring 5G to more customers around the UK.
Known as a tourist hotspot, Vodafone’s upgrade at Bembridge means customers in the area can enjoy even more reliable 4G mobile data. For families on the move, it is perfect for checking directions and streaming to keep the kids entertained.
Andrea Dona, Network and Development Director at Vodafone UK, said:
“We know as people travel over the summer our network is busier in areas like Bembridge, especially with more people choosing to holiday in the UK. To make sure our customers get the best possible experience, we have prioritised adding the latest 4G technology to the area to ensure visitors, local residents and businesses can enjoy a reliable connection.
“While we continue to roll out 5G, our on-going investment in 4G technology is just as important to make sure we leave no-one behind.”
The current network upgrade programme will see the retirement of the old 3G network in 2023, with coverage replaced by strengthened 4G and 5G services, so customers can access a more reliable connection in more parts of the country.
The holiday home snobs will be happy
So not really improving, just switching from 3G to 4G
3G and 4G are both mobile data connections, but 3G is an older technology associated with the first wave of touch-screen smartphones. 4G is a newer technology that delivers much faster speeds, and supports more intensive mobile activity such as streaming. Therefore it is an improvement. Research before you comment!!
It’ll fry our brains!
