O2 scoops fastest mobile broadband title

The results of a new Siroda survey are in and O2 has been named the fastest mobile broadband provider in the UK.

Throughout January, the mobile broadband provider offered the fastest web page access on the market in London, with speeds around 30% higher than the slowest operator.

It also ranked highly for music downloads, as it took the top spot in 12 out of 20 cities in the UK.

Derek McManus, Chief Technology Officer at O2, commented: "Outside London, where network quality is shown to be strong, we continue to scale our investment and have committed to deliver a further 1,500 new sites by the end of this year."

He added that London customers in particular are reaping the rewards from significant investments made before Christmas.

Last month, O2 revealed its Top-Up Surprises scheme was to be made available to pay-as-you-go mobile phone customers once again.
