Vodafone to boost 7.2Mbps coverage

Vodafone said on Monday that it was extending the reach of its 7.2Mbps mobile broadband coverage.

Thus far it's been London and major airports that have got the speed boost, but now Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Liverpool, Manchester and Reading will get to join the fun.

The rollout should complete this autumn, and will be good news for those Vodafone customers wanting to take advantage of that half-gig of bundled data that the operator now supplies as standard.
