On top of that it should also gain access to 2 x 15MHz of <strong>1800MHz<\/strong> in September 2013 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>, which was effectively forced to sell it off in order to satisfy competition concerns (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2012\/08\/three-uk-to-buy-4g-friendly-1800mhz-spectrum-from-everything-everywhere.html\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>At the time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> suggested that the new slice of 1800MHz would help it to \u201c<em>more than double the capacity available to customers on our network<\/em>\u201c and that should compensate for the somewhat small slice of 800MHz, although their long-term deployment plan for 1800MHz is still unclear.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> also has a network sharing agreement (<strong>Mobile-Broadband Network Limited<\/strong>) with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> but this is only for 2G and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/3g\">3G<\/a> services, not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a>. As a result the operator will be rolling out its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> network without any help from rivals and it expects to expand the service into <strong>50 cities<\/strong> around the United Kingdom during <strong>2014<\/strong>; reaching 98% of the population by the end of 2015.<\/p>\n<p>This timescale roughly mirrors what <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">O2<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> plan to achieve, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a>&#8217;s head-start means that it should achieve similar coverage by the end of 2014 instead of 2015. But it should go without saying that what mobile operators promise and the reality of what they actually achieve, especially from an end-users perspective, are usually two very different things.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #339966;\">What will you get for your money?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In terms of price, Three UK clearly isn\u2019t following the pack and has chosen a different approach. Instead of offering lots of extra content gimmicks, such as Sky Sports or free Film streaming \/ cinema tickets, Three UK\u00a0are approaching 4G from the perspective of a network upgrade that will be delivered &#8220;<em>at no extra cost<\/em>&#8221; (remember they\u2019re already one of the cheapest). Customers whom already own a 4G-capable Smartphone (800MHz), which equates to about 1.5 million of their users, will simply notice the new connection without having to pay anything extra.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, if you currently have one of their &#8220;<em>all-you-can-eat data<\/em>&#8221; plans, which start at just \u00a312.90 per month, then expect to receive a <strong>free speed boost<\/strong>. Similarly Three UK currently offers a dedicated Mobile Broadband service (USB Modem) on a 24 month contract with 15GB of monthly data usage from just \u00a315.99 and that would be very impressive with 4G (EE only offers 3GB for the same money).<\/p>\n<p>The move should add a little competition into a market that has so far been defined by its high prices and content gimmicks. The real question now is whether or not Three UK&#8217;s offer will end up being enough to attract customers away from rival operators with their special content and greater coverage. The latter will at least balance out over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three UK has today moved to steal some of O2 and Vodafone&#8217;s thunder by announcing that its new 800MHz and possibly 1800MHz based superfast 4G (LTE) Mobile Broadband network will officially launch during December 2013 in the cities of London, Birmingham and Manchester (England).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[61,60,63],"class_list":["post-4038","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-4g","tag-mobile-broadband","tag-three-uk"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
