Features - QOTW: Do you plan on upgrading to 4G?

[terriblebugger]

No. The 'deals' so far are horrible. EE threw away their temporary monopoly by being greedy with data limits. Until £35/month unlimited data they can all go to hell.

[Badbonji]

Would rather have 3G everywhere before working on increasing the speed. Vodafone seems terrible in my area as it is.

[Jonatron]

Just ordered a Nexus 4, so neeeewp.

[george1979]

Nah - don't see the point right now. 3G for light surfing on my phone en route to and from work, which is mostly what I use it for, is perfectly fine. I also agree with 3G coverage issues - even in cities it often drops out.

[[DW]Cougho]

Well since I'm with three, and I'm very happy with the service so far - I think I will be 'upgrading', but basically just renewing my contract when the time comes.

Don't think I'd bother if I had to pay extra.

[deejayburnout]

all the networks need to upgrade the 3G signal first. also until 4G has better coverage, will not even look at it.

[Jay]

I wish I could get a decent GPRS signal, never mind 3G/4G

[voxstream]

No, too new, too unreliable and too expensive.

[Bhavv]

I have unlimited 3G on T mobiles full monty plan which I use for tethering, and might move over to 3's one plan after my contract ends.

I used to be on a 10 Gb limit, and with modern day internet use that wouldnt even last for half a week.

Cant really see why anyone would want 4G and not be using it for tethering too, reason I want to move to 3 is that they've promised free unlimited 4G upgrade to one plan customers once they have 4G on their network.

4G now isnt important if I cant get unlimited data caps.

[Lithuanian]

I don't think it's coming anytime soon to Lithuania, so the upgrade for me won't be happening.

[stanonwheels]

Right now it's only available in big cities where you're never more than ten feet from an open wi-fi network anyway. Be great when there's more coverage, but until then I can't see myself needing it.

[aidanjt]

Nope. I basically treat wwan as stopgap for when I don't have a real internet connection available. In no way do I need super duper fast wireless, nor am I willing to pay the extortionate charges carriers are demanding. Frankly I find the whole thing a farcical disgrace and consider it as yet another example of government refusing to address wilful uncompetitiveness among wireless networks.

[Mehta23]

I haven checked prices after O2 and Vodafone got their 4G rolled out, but I'm guessing it'll still be pretty expensive.
I wouldn't say no to faster Internet, especially when my HSPA signal often drops down to 3G (not too bad), EDGE or even GPRS

[zap117]

I didn't think 4G would be that great, but once you use it, you won't be able to go back to 3G. It feels just as fast if not faster than wifi.

[lkarunan]

I will shortly be switching to Three because of their more generous 3G data limits. The fact that I will get upgraded to 4G at some point is just a bonus.

[Doherz]

Nexus 4 owner, so not an option for me.

Plus other than three they are all doing their utmost to make it seem financially unattractive.

If three got their **** together with coverage and customer service they'd wipe the floor with the other carriers.
