No 4G roaming in New York

[Anonymous]

I've just been to New York. My friend on EE had 4G but I only had 3G. O2 Guru on chat has told me that O2 only delivers 3G in the US. Is this correct?

[MI5 · Accepted solution]

Yes it is correct.
O2 only has 4g roaming in Germany currently.

Many thanks. That's pretty appalling given that Vodafone and EE have 4G even in places like China. I'll be changing my account as soon as I can!

Sadly o2 roaming in general is behind all the others.

O2 really need to pick up their game to provide 4G in other countries. It's beyond poor.

Yet another reason not to be with O2.

I suppose you also experienced data throttling on 3G and all for £4.99/day. Brilliant!

I experienced their 4g roaming in Hamburg at the weekend - whilst it was still a bit patchy it was definitely an improvement on the woeful 3G - but that was improved upon last September- I asked them about other 4g agreements and they said “watch this space” but then they’ve been saying that for months.

That's what they always say to everything

@iphone4sir O2 only have 4G Roaming on O2 Germany (O2-DE)

O2 DE has as well the least amount of 4G Coverage in Germany at present 80% of Population.

The best is T-Mobile at 92% and Vodafone is at 84%

Information obtain for coverage is from

This is also a great source of information

@darrengf yes I was connected to o2 de all the time but I’d say on 40% of my trip my signal kept moving to 3G
