More good news for Manchester-based mobile broadband users
Written by Anonymous on 2:02 AMFollowing an announcement last week by Manchester City Council that it hoped to extend its Eastserve wireless broadband connection across the city as part of a new ‘Digital Strategy for Manchester’ scheme, Vodafone has confirmed that it will carry out major upgrade work to its mobile broadband coverage within the city.
As part of a multi-million pound investment Vodafone intends to improve wireless coverage, increase download speeds and will also alter the way it bills its customers. The service will be available through USB dongles, data cards or plug-and-play software, with the expectation that a 2 MB file will be able to be downloaded 10 seconds faster than previously.
Alec Howard, head of PC Connectivity for Vodafone UK, commented on the improvement plan for Manchester: “Manchester, along with five other major conurbations, is now the fastest network in the UK. We have been heavily investing in the network so that when people are out and about they can get the same wireless experience that they do in the office.”
“What’s really important for Manchester is that people travel from all over Britain to do business in Manchester and if they know that the wireless coverage is really good it will drive productivity.”
