Faster mobile internet is promised in Grantham after telephone company EE announced the arrival of 5G in the town.

The roll-out in Grantham made the town one of 35 where EE launched the service yesterday. Lincoln also saw the arrival of 5G from EE yesterday.

Altogether, EE has delivered 5G to 160 towns and cities nationally.

Marc Allera, CEO Consumer Division, BT, said: "We've announced that we've switched on our award-winning 5G network in a further 35 towns and cities across the UK, fulfilling the commitment we set last year to double our 5G place count.

"With the gradual easing of lockdown restrictions expected in the coming weeks and months, the increased capacity and faster speeds of our 5G network will ensure our customers stay connected as footfall starts to increase in historically busy places."

EE secured vital new spectrum in the first stage of Ofcom's 5G auction last month, which will enable EE to expand and enhance its 5G network even further once rolled out into the network.
