We take a look at 4G LTE on Three UK, comparing speeds against current gen

For UK mobile consumers there is just i main network left to join the 4G party and that'due south Three. As most folk will be aware – EE, Vodafone and O2 have already launched LTE across United kingdom, although EE are clearly leading the way as they had a big head start.

This means that Three accept some catching up to exercise. The network recently rolled out 4G to a select few chiliad people for testing, however things are now very close to rolling out beyond four Uk cities (mid February at the latest) - with a total of fifty being covered later in the year. I think I'm right in saying that they expect to take 98% of the population covered past the end of 2022.

I was lucky enough to test out Three's 4G network recently at a special event for a scattering of bloggers. Every bit you will see from the to a higher place video, the speeds were certainly impressive, although once this thing rolls out to the masses we should see the speeds settle down and be on par with the other 4G carriers, and then expect an average download speed of between 12-20mbps - that'southward even so more than adequate for streaming the likes of movies and music.

Y'all'll also meet that I put my own Three smartphone (with a 3G SIM) upwardly against the 4G ones and the departure in speeds was pretty huge. If you already own a 4G enabled Windows Telephone you won't take to exercise anything to get the enhanced information speeds. All 3 customers with a 4G smartphone will automatically switch over to 4G when in an area with coverage and the best part is that they are sticking to their promise and not increasing prices for the privilege of using 4G - dissimilar all the other United kingdom networks. This will be the one affair that sets them apart from the competition.

Three already take some bully value plans – in detail with 'All You Tin can Eat' data – something that I've taken advantage of for some time now. You lot can't really beat out it. Certain, here in the U.k. we are way backside another countries in terms of LTE, only we're getting there slowly.

Will you be making the switch over to Three for their 4G at no extra cost? Let us know in the comments.

For Three customers you may want to continue an eye on the coverage checker to see when the 4G service is available in your expanse:
