There are still significant notspots when it comes to 3G mobile coverage in the UK, regulator Ofcom has revealed.
It has pledged to investigate why some places, particularly in rural areas, are still failing to get any coverage.
It also said it will investigate mobile broadband speeds, which vary tremendously in different areas and at different times of day.
Between February 2008 and February 2009 there were two million new connections to mobile broadband, said Ofcom.
3G (or Third Generation) services allow people to connect to the web via a wireless network, either using a phone, a dongle or datacard which can be plugged into a PC or a laptop.
In the UK such services are offered by operators such as Vodafone, Orange, O2, T-Mobile and 3.
But there are questions about how reliable these services are and whether they can provide the speeds needed by consumers.
