Virgin 4G
So, Natalie just gave me her phone she got for her upgrade. Very nice of her indeed. :tu:
It is a (unlocked thankfully) Galaxy note II LTE edition. I was just wondering when and if VM will be supporting 4g so I will be able to use all the features (eventually). |

Re: Virgin 4G
Well Phones 4U have launched a MVNO called 'LIFE Mobile' on EE's network and their press release states that they plan to launch 4G services on that 'later in the year' http://www.phones4u.co.uk/media/pres...h-life-mobile/. With Virgin already running on EE's network I would think that they would start to be able to offer 4G around the same time as LIFE.

Re: Virgin 4G
Yeah, all the networks should be launching 4G this year so EE are just clinging onto exclusivity for as long as possible, even from their own MVNO partners.

Re: Virgin 4G
I don't blame them, I'm with them and think it's worth it if you can get it

Re: Virgin 4G
Their prices are absolute disgusting though.

Re: Virgin 4G
My bet is July/August.

The plan itself isn't that bad - as you say about £5 a month more - but most other headline prices are subject to quite substantial discounts if you shop around and EE's aren't. On Orange, you can get a free Note II with unlimited calls, texts, and 3GB data for £36 a month. On EE, the standard price is £46 a month + £30 for the phone, costing a total of £270 more for exactly the same, sans the LTE coverage.
Best I can find looking around, is £46 a month with a free phone + £25 cashback on that same package, so it'd "only" cost £215 more. |

EE's network currently runs at "Up to" 50Mbps in most places, shortly to become 100Mbps, DC-HSPA runs at "Up to" 42Mbps (or 28.8 if you're on Vodafone)
Not to mention the latter will have a lot more congestion - for now. And it's not download speeds that are the problem, it's latency, and you will be a lot faster on EE. |

With Sky unlimited and 3 unlimited I could never go back to limits. |
Re: Virgin 4G
