In reply to Phill_Away:
Do that mean 4G coverage will actually be better as well though? OP was asking about 4G. Providing a signal for emergency services contract is I guess is priority for voice and texts mainly?
A btw, I swapped from O2 network after a decade of use to EE network in August, and so far it is not as good as I expected*. My phone regularly swaps to 3G or less in places I’ve been going to for years, and a few spots are now no signal with EE. No hard data, just random observations from when I wanted a signal and wasn’t getting it. Generally though when signal is good EE for me has better download speeds than I was getting with O2 and I haven’t had any dropped calls (though I never did with O2 either).
* I trialled EE about 4 years ago with one of their free trial sims. Back then signal strength was much better than O2 and download speeds where in a different league. I generally thought EE had the better overall network in rural areas anyway.
I’m a bit disappointed since I swapped. Maybe I was expecting too much as the network will no doubt be far busier nowadays.
