Britain's first super-fast 4G mobile internet service has been launched in 11 cities, allowing the United Kingdom to catch up with the global rollout.
Telecoms firm EE – formed by the merger of the Orange and T-Mobile networks in Britain – went live with the service, meaning millions of mobile phone users across the country will be able to access 4G for the first time.
The network was rolled out in London, Bristol, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield and Southampton.
Other mobile networks will not be able to offer 4G until next year.
4G, which operates five times faster than the current 3G network, allows users to download large email attachments quickly, watch live television without buffering, make high-quality video calls and play live games on the go.
The service is available on Apple's iPhone5 and 4G phones from HTC, Samsung, Nokia and Huawei.
