Title: UK has worse wireless broadband than Mongolia
Post by: Simon on November 20, 2010, 11:55

The UK has slower wireless broadband networks than Uzbekistan and Mongolia, according to Wireless Intelligence, an analytical arm of the GSM Association.

While regulator Ofcom and network carriers ponder how to move Britain onto 4G LTE services, with arrival not expected until 2014 at the earliest, smartphone surfers in Uzbekistan, Poland and other countries are already using commercial rollouts of the technology.

The UK, by comparison, is two generations behind – relying on HSPA 3G technology. Three says customers using these services can get access at up to 5.6Mbits/sec, but average download speeds are 1.5Mbits/sec.

Meanwhile, trials of LTE by O2 have demonstrated download speeds of between 65Mbits/sec and 150Mbits/sec.
