Guest Josh92 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 News today: http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/11/everything-everywhere-announce-the-uks-first-major-4g-network/ Might be worth holding out on an upgrade to your Skate for a little while till 4G is affordable? Considering the rate technology prices drop these days. I know I'll certainly consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest utternoob Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Maybe, seeing as most of the phones are dual/quadcore battery will get destroyed in minutes. I'll wait for a year and a bit to two years for an affordable 4G phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 EE are tmobile and orange joined. I really don't think their plans are goin to be very affordable. We need competition to come in for prices to drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest little pea Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I bet giffgaff will do good deals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matt4321 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I bet giffgaff will do good deals Giffgaff are on the O2 network and O2 don't have the 4G licence so that wont happen for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bladebuddy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 It was already rolled out here in cumbria for a trial run , the MP in Penrith pushed for it and showed some local farmers and companys what the benefits where . So I went along to take a peak and was amazed buy how fast streaming and downloading was. Definitely worth upgrading but as the trial has now stopped Cumbria will probably be last on the list for the upgrade , as there's not even fiber optic up here yet. As for Giffgaff offering good deals they need to sort out a reliable and fast 3g first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest razzmataz1478 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) In my area giffgaff are fast and reliable. Only thing is that they are now putting their prices up and that's my cue to leave. They no longer will be value for money.<br /><br />My city (Hull) will be one of the first cities to get EE4G so I await the prices, even though they are bound to be outrageous.<br /> Edited September 11, 2012 by razzmataz1478 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh92 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Giffgaff are putting their prices up?! Yeah I expect them to be too pricey, but I know O2 are working on it and it'll only be a matter of time before they and others join the party.

And yes the £10 goodybag is going up to £13. That's for definite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tilal6991 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Why? 3 don't offer tethering any more so have no advantage over giffgaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tilal6991 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Nope - read the Ts and Cs. Only the One Plan allows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Josh92 Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 Ah damn, £13 is probably still worth it I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bladebuddy Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 3 network is offering a similar package with unlimited datta and a lot more reliability connection and speeds on a rolling monthly contact and I will be sure to try it and give my verdict when I've tried it which is even cheaper then giffgaff.

Just looked, it's not cheaper than giffgaff, even when they increase then price it's barely cheaper and you get less. Plus I disagree about speeds &reliability. O2's network seems brilliant to me, I used to be on 3 and didn't find it as good at all. For what it's worth, case anyone didn't know I read ages ago that o2 have been testing 4G around London for sometime now, if I remember correctly it read as if O2 were under the impression they would be first to roll it out.
