I've not looked into it as yet due to the bad coverage in certain areas. I'll be looking into it in 2014 when there better coverage.

I'm using O2 4G, works great, most. city's are covered, but it will drop down in rural areas to 3G, you need to find out which network gives you the best coverage in your area.

My friend changed to EE 4G and has had terrible service with no calls being received, only texts. Wishes she had stayed with Orange.
I'm with o2 and get great coverage. 8)

Isn't Orange now part of EE?

Twice I have left Orange in the past following appalling customer service. The interim price rise in a 'fixed price contract' was the last straw! Never again.

I bought a phone in November 2012 from EE which was 4G enabled.

I was promised 4G in my manor by March 2013. In December 2013 they said 4G was up and running, and this month I have had about 2 minutes of 4G on my phone locally.

So to say the least I'm not impressed. :sad:

Work lovely in London though. :sad:

What 2 minutes in 12 months doesn't meet your criteria? :shock:
