O2 4G Rollout update-

[Anonymous]

Hey Guys,

We’ve just announced some really great stats for our 4G rollout and some  new information on what’s coming next!

Here’s an overview of where our 4G is at the minute-

-Available to 33% of the population indoors and 41% of the population outdoors

-Already in 191 towns and Cities across the UK spanning to 20 million people

-Over 1 million O2 customers now on 4G

Here’s what we’re doing to make 2,3 and 4G better

- Nationwide upgrade of existing masts

- 25% of masts upgraded by 2014

- An additional £16 million committed to delivering data services to over 200 areas that have never had data before!

- Investment on top of the £1.5 million per day equivalent network spend

4G data stat alert*

In the last year since we launched 4G customers have used more data than the combined period between 2000 to 2008! That’s a lot of data.

For more on this check here

These are ambitious plans guys, let us know what you think and if you’ve already started to see and make use of the improvements that have come with 4G.

What more would you like to see from us for 2014 and beyond?

Of course in 2015 everyone will be using Segways whilst using our Google glass or the Apple or Samsung, HTC and beyond equivalent…

But never the less- let us know what you think!

Thanks

Brad

No way of knowing when and where but the rollout is continuing.

Currently being upgraded in Bristol according to one of our members.

The 4g rollout is running at a fast pace all across the country. As previously stated on this site it is a massive 4 year infrastructure project. It is not possible to do everywhere at once.

Also note 20% of the uk landmass has NO SIGNAL at all and many areas have 2g only. It is coming. It will take time.

In terms of areas being upgraded before Xmas there were MAJOR technical issues and the rollout out was stopped for a short while to fix those issues.

I'm afraid you will either have to wait or change network if 4g matters that much to you.

No one here can answer that I'm afraid as there is no published roll out plan. Keep checking the status page for news.

Also try posting the question in the following link as we are hoping to get answers on various aspects of the network.
