IF 4G is anything like 3G in UK or even worse 3G in Ireland would stay f***ing well clear of it.
Issues I have with 3G when in london in partic are constant signal drops(iphone refresshing pinwheeling).
Basically the 3G networks are shit, the ISPs rely on customers not realizing there losing connection or lagging to an insane level during the day especially.
Just not worth the money they charge for it. Phone ISPs like the main ones in UK and IRE are IT and Networking gangsters.
There fully aware of the issues but wont spend to upgrade due to cost of putting mobile masts in etc.
Main issue with 3G networks are wireless based obviously, internet connections at home run over copper wire in the ground or fibre cabling running in electricity poles. Because the networks are wireless is causes alot of these issues IMO and alot of cost issues for the ISP. I try to stay away from using Wireless as much as possible to be honest, good old RJ45 cable does me. cant beat it
I worked for a MNC in Ireland for Several years. I advised our directors/management not to spend vast sums of money on these products which they were about to do...... My professional opinion on 3G has changed little since then.
From what colleagues in other countrys such as Belg, Holland, France told me that 3G services in these countrys have pretty much always been top notch, im referencing UK and IRE networks only here.
