Why trust GreenbotThere was a surprise waiting for me when I fired up my Nexus 5X on the oject Fi network after ling in Amsterdam today: E service.
That new find is thanks to ’s announcement Tuesday that it had formed a new partnership with Three, which covers the United Kingdom, Austria, Denmark, Hong Kong, Irel, Italy, Sweden. The network will bring speeds 10 to 20 times faster than what you used to get on oject Fi, according to . In many cases this will be E connectivity, which is what I had straight out of the gate.
You may see E speeds next time you head out of the country.
One of the major allures of oject Fi was how you could go to just about any country continue to get mobile service. However, you were capped to 3G speeds, severely limiting how much you were able to do online. This expansion, while probably limited in scope, makes the service more compelling for regular travelers. To sweeten the deal, will take $150 off the Nexus 6for the next week if you buy the phone while signing up for new service.
y this matters: In the U.S. oject Fi bounces between open -Fi networks, T-Mobile, Sprint, most recently U.S. Cellular. It’s an innovative idea at wireless coverage, designed to let learn a lot about mobile usage potentially upend the market.
