4g news

There are 4 main networks in the UK; EE (T-Mobile/Orange), O2, Vodafone and Three. To date, only one of those networks has 4G coverage in Bristol.

That network is EE. Created by the merger of Orange UK and T-Mobile UK, EE (also known as ‘everything everywhere’), launched 4G in various UK cities on 30th December 2012. One of those first launch cities was Bristol. But since then, EE have remained to be the only network with 4G coverage in the city.

So what’s happening with the 4G coverage from O2, Vodafone and Three? We went to find out more.

O2 – After contacting O2, they told us that O2 4G would be launching in Bristol “very very soon”. They later said that it would be in a “few months time”. Last Thursday (9th January 2014), O2′s service status website showed that coverage in Bristol may be patchy on that date because works were going on at all of O2′s Bristol masts. We asked about this and O2 said that “all cells in the Bristol area are being updated in preparation for 4G”. So it appears that O2 have got their 4G network ready for their Bristol launch. Unfortunately out past news post suggesting that O2 4G would launch before the end of 2013 appeared as just a rumour.

o2 stopped updating the 4g coverage page with where next in december 2013 yet areas have had it since if you look at coverage checker ie brighton and a lot along that bit of the coast and some of ruralish kent.

 

Why o2 are being so tight lipped I guess is a business decision @toby can you get some more information or ask the powers that be to look at rollout plan information using 3 as an example being a bit more upfront. O2 has the coverage obligation lot so why the cloak and dagger approach?
