I'd love to test out 4G to see what is the true difference between it and 3G - is the hype justified. also, being a new iPhone 5 user, would love to see tie difference between the two phones

No point me winning anyhow as I am lucky to even get a signal in the countryside where I am on 3G. 4G wont get to me for years at the rate O2 is sorting out 3G in this area

4G will be fantastic enabling me to perform both work and personal online much much quicker than I can now. I monitor several locations CCTV cameras and it is near impossible on current mobile networks. With 4g this should be a breeze.

As an employee im probably exempt from this but the thing im looking forward to most after 4G launches in my area is using O2's free online gaming service. Mobile gaming is becoming more popular than ever but its biggest drawback has always been connection speeds, however this shouldnt be an issue soon - and best of all it wont come out of your data allowance so even if youre on the basic 1gb 4G tariff you can enjoy unlimited multiplayer action with your mates. This is right up my alley because im a massive gamer!

I am surprised there are not more entries.

But 4g when it is made available in my rural location it will give another backup route for when adsl is down, and may help those in rural areas in adsl notspots. As we have an ipad on 3g when we travel for work in a 4g area then we can tether at higher speeds than 3g. I think when upgrade is due (mid October) as we travel a lot in the m25 area we will get a 4g tariff to take advantage of the extra data promotion even though we may not see 4g for a year or so in our rural location (end 2015 at the latest). Well done o2 for buying the coverage obligation lot. Because we travel a lot it would make me a good tester and when rural is launched will allow feedback as a rural user.

I'll be posting one next week Adam with a few points of discussion. Should be good!

Well I'm not a great one for entering competitions but the thought of winning a new Samsung Galaxy S4 and being able to try out the new 4G network from O2 has prompted me to want to give it a try.

The phone sounds like it will be a lot cleverer than I am, and I really admire the advances made in mobile technology over the last few years, so giving the phone a chance to show it's incredible features on the new high speed network would be rather exciting.

I'm still trying to appreciate just how fast the speed of 4G is, watching films and other media that is downloading in a few seconds must be amazing.

All this added to the improvements being made to the network coverage by O2, promises mobile users adventurous times to come.

As someone who has doubts as to how 4G would enrichen my life in anyway, maybe I could be astonishingly surprised. Downloading programmes from iplayer would be a great advantage as it's difficult to get anything else done whilst downloading. I do download a lot of music as well as BBC programmes so I would like to test out the 4G when it eventually comes to Manchester:smileywink:

In a lot of ways people do rush through life without appreciating the finer things but I think there are situations where speed does have distinct advantages.

@jonsie agreed lol how many people know what a paragraph is lol
