Vodafone says it can't offer free access to BBC Bitesize
by Paul Hill
Vodafone has told BBC News that it will not offer free access to the BBC Bitesize educational materials as BT, EE and Plusnet did last week. The mobile carrier said that its technical team have assessed the possibility of zero-rating Bitesize but concluded that it's not possible to offer free access without giving users free access to the whole of the BBC website.
Explaining why it’s not possible for Vodafone to do, the firm’s general counsel and external affairs director Helen Lamprell said:
Lamprell also said that, by zero-rating Bitesize, it would give the site an advantage over other education websites and could go against the firm’s legal obligations to maintain net neutrality. While Ofcom is mandated with ensuring net neutrality, Vodafone probably would have been safe from ramifications given that the closing of schools is quite extraordinary. Instead of zero-rating Bitesize, Vodafone has offered 350,000 free SIM cards to disadvantaged children to get them online.
BT told BBC that zero-rating Bitesize alone is technically difficult and can be costly, however, it affirmed that it’s not impossible to do which contradicts what Vodafone has said today. EE will offer Bitesize for free by the end of the month and customers will not have to register to take advantage of the offer.

RootMetrics says EE is the mobile carrier to beat in the UK
by Paul Hill
EE has announced that it came top in terms of overall performance in RootMetrics’ latest report. The report authors described EE as the “operator to beat, with fast speeds … and impressive 5G results.” In Metropolitan areas, including suburbs, EE got a RootScore of 100 while Vodafone, O2 and Three scored 48, 23 and 15 respectively.
EE was named the best carrier across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, offering the fastest speeds and the most reliable connection. Of the operators that were looked at, EE was the only carrier whose 5G median download speeds went above 100 Mbps in all the test cities. The company also topped the list when aggregate median download speeds across the whole of the UK were looked at; EE’s download speed was 43 Mbps, Vodafone scored 21.1 Mbps, Three got 13.9 Mbps and O2 came last with a median download speed of 12.9 Mbps.
Commenting on the findings, CEO of BT’s Consumer business Marc Allera said:
It should be noted that a lot of the data in the report is aggregated on a country-wide level. You may not recognise EE as the best provider if their infrastructure is poor in your area. RootMetrics said its data is based on 644,546 tests performed in 750 places around the country including in 16 metro areas.

EE announces free data extension for NHS workers
by Paul Hill
The UK’s biggest mobile carrier, EE, has announced that it will be extending its offer of unlimited data for NHS workers until June 2021. With workers in the NHS being swamped with coronavirus patients, EE wants to make it easier for NHS staff to keep in contact with their families and friends who they’re being prevented from seeing as much.
The deal was initially started in April last year and was scheduled to run until October. In October, EE extended the offer again until January 31. As the country is currently experiencing a huge spike in cases, EE has now decided to keep the offer going until June.
Since the offer became available back in April, over 300,000 NHS workers have benefited from unlimited data. According to EE, the extended scheme can be worth up to £350 to each person who signed up at the start of the offer. Those looking to leverage the scheme can sign-up online using a valid NHS email address.
Commenting on the extension, CEO of BT’s Consumer Division Marc Allera said:
BT, the owner of EE, is also helping non-NHS workers that are affected by the pandemic. While it’s not offering other people free data, it did decide earlier in the week to zero-rate BBC Bitesize content in response to schools closing. This should allow parents that are struggling financially to at least give their children access to educational resources.
