MOBILE service provider Vodaphone has announced it has begun introducing 4G internet connectivity to the Thornbury area this week.
Vodafone say that “all customers with compatible devices and bundles will be able to connect to the internet more quickly, more reliably and in more places than ever before.
"4G services will also help businesses improve productivity by enabling employees to work where they want to, when they want to.”
The rollout of 4G services comes as part of a £2 billion spend by Vodafone on its network and services across the UK, with 780 larger cities, towns and districts, as well as thousands of smaller communities now connected.
The telecoms giant has also stated that the people of Thornbury will benefit from improvements to its 3G network, aimed at both indoor and outdoor coverage, the nationwide provision of HD voice technology on its 3G network and the introduction of its WiFi Calling service.
The Vodafone Rural Open Sure Signal programme is also aiming to bring 3G coverage for the first time to 100 remote communities across the UK.
