The Surface Pro update history website confirms the update, noting that it addresses reliability, but not security, connectivity, compatibility, performance, or battery life. It describes the update like so:

  • Surface Mobile Broadband Update Device – Firmware version 18.02.08.1700 improves LTE network reliability.

The update is available from Windows Update, of course. But IT pros will also find this update in the latest version of the Surface Pro LTE Drivers and Firmware download too.

    <p>I recall during Windows Weekly that someone mentioned that HP would be releasing firmware updates that would actually increase the LTE performance on the Envy X2. Assuming that’s true, I wonder if Microsoft might eventually do the same for Surface?</p>

    <p>This computer has been a nightmare since 1803 was installed. Blue screens of death every few hours does not make for a productive machine. I really hope this one works</p>
