EE joins Vodafone with mobile data speeds five times faster than average UK broadband in London, with Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool added in 2015

More people in the UK are going to get mobile internet speeds comparable with South Korea and US with the launch of EE’s next generation 4G+ network.

“The UK is now back to being a world leader in mobile networks,” said EE’s chief executive, Olaf Swantee. “Just two years since we were behind every developed market from the US to Japan, we’ve invested in innovation, driven competition and given people in London a mobile network that’s as faster than almost any other in the world, and even faster than most fibre broadband available here.”

EE has the largest 4G network in the UK covering 300 towns and cities and 75% of the population and with six million subscribers. O2 and Three have yet to confirm plans to follow EE and Vodafone.
I think that this will make the phone market more competitive meaning that the public will have less options to choose from if they wanted a high quality broadband with 4G connection. Also this could lead to EE and vodafone charging more for their deals as they are one of the companies that will have more to offer.
