I just wish I could get working 3g on the O2 network....

I wish the throughput on O2 wasn't bad at peak times in my area.

I'm struggling to get 1-2 Kb/s at peak times meaning emailing from my 2g phone or browsing social network sites is painfully slow with pages not loading on many occasions.

It's all good saying that people can connect @ silly speeds, but they better have the infrastructure to support devices connecting and downloading or it will just grind to a hold.

I would like affordable data roaming

How about they do 100% coverage of 3g before moving onto 4g/5g/etc.

I only get GPRS, which is well ermm...... Painful

How about they do 100% coverage of 3g before moving onto 4g/5g/etc.

Maybe moving over to LTE will allow a greater network coverage when they change over to this standard. This is just like how the newer wireless standard 802.11N gives a greater range over 802.11g. I can see it from their point in that it's not financially viable to upgrade everywhere to 3G now when they are going to roll-out 4G shortly.
