2degrees, a New Zealand mobile phone operator, announced that the company has switched on its 4G network in central Wellington and more parts of Auckland on Sept 8, Nzherald.co.nz reported.

The company’s 4G mobile networks allow users to download or access much larger files, such as videos, far more quickly than on a 3G equivalent.

Having launched 4G services in Auckland CBD in June, 2degrees is turning its 4G network on in over half of Wellington and has extended coverage to more than two-thirds of Auckland.

2degrees is scheduled to launch the service in Christchurch at the end of this month and in Hamilton next month.
