I know what you’re thinking. “Hey, I wish I could get the all-new BlackBerry Q10 on EE” Well you can, however it’s a tad pricey. Splash out £41 per month on the 4G network and you’re still going to have to pay £139.99 up-front. Either that or pay …

With other networks (most notably Three) ramping up their existing 3G speeds, EE had to do something. Three are already offering speeds on their DC-HSDPA+ network of around 12Mbps and were keen to state that they’re not in a hurry with 4G because it would only offer customers …
