O2 to double Mbps speeds

O2 is to double its HSDPA 3G-enabled mobile broadband speeds in selected areas of London in December.

O2, currently averaging speeds of 3.6Mbps, will increase them to 7.2Mbps across certain “pockets” of London for all of its mobile broadband customers.

O2 also confirmed the speed improvements will be rolled out across other areas of the UK in early 2009.
