I would imagine it would be early next year but obviously no one knows although they seem quite quick at rolling it out

It's not going to be this year as all cities have been declared for release up to the end of the year.
I would assume next year.
I started a thread here for people to add any info to that they receive.... http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-Services/4G-Roll-Out/td-p/548198

I live in Bristol...

I've heard from Tesco Mobile (which uses O2 4G) that it will be at the end of December 2013.

I called their sales team and they told me "end of December 2013". O2 appear to have rolled out their 4G quicker than expected so maybe they're speeding up the launch now?

EE don't give customers any notice of future 4G locations until the day they launch 4G in a certain location. Maybe O2 are doing the same now.

All their 4G launches have been Northern except London. About time they covered the South West and gave EE some competition!

The O2 mast is right opposite my house. I get 8Mbps down on 3G. Hopefully that means fast 4G!

My iPad is on EE 4G. Averages at around 50mbps. That's 7x faster than our Sky broadband!!

The way we get a bit of advance notice is when o2 start to test it in an area and people notice 4g on there handsets and also sometimes mast downtime.

just seen this page https://at800.tv/faq/will-4g-masts-affect-freeview-in-my-area/ and bristol is listed so a network must be planning an @800 4g launch

I wonder if o2 have a big 4g xmas suprise for a lot of places it has all gone quiet on the 4g page with no more hints at the next areas and o2 have said they are already 6 weeks ahead of 4g rollout plans.
