Vodafone has signed up more than 100,000 people to its 4G service in the five weeks since it went live, with the operator bringing the proposition to more than 80 towns and districts across London.

At the end of Q1 2013 EE had 318,000 customers. We do not know where EE were at this time last year but using simple maths they were probably around 75k customers whilst Voda have 100k. But that EE number is just a a guess.
Worth bearing in mind that a number of Voda and EE's customers on 4G will be business customers who have switched over day 1. It will be interesting to see if 4G continues to grow for Vodafone the same way it has for EE.

25% attach rate is pretty good actually.
Then again it's nothing compared to Three's 100% attach rate
It is good I was just pointing out that they have a long way to go if they want to get majority on 4G.
According to Vodafone.
"More than 20,000 people signed up to 4G" on day one of the service. (Aug 29th)
So sounds about right.
Birmingham, Sheffield and a number of other places went live last month.
Liverpool is due to go live 17th October, with Glasgow on the 24th, and Manchester soon after.
This was me when they launched the tariffs
Yes, the number would include those people.
Technically 3s current attach rate is 0%, you need an LTE network before you can get off ZERO in my book!
8-9 weeks away:D
Come back in 8-9 weeks and Three will have more 4G enabled customers than any of the others.
Hence why i put the wink... The wink was there for a reason dammit!
Yeh i know what you mean though.
Like mentioned above, would be good to see if Vodafone can maintain the momentum and would be good to be able to see how O2 are doing.
Seamless switching to 4G.
When 4G arrives in your area we will nudge you up with a simple free software update. So long as you have a 4G Ready device, you won't pay a penny extra.
Probably not if they enable devices on a per area basis which is what their website seems to suggest. Seems a bit of a messy way to enable it to me, but Three subs have waited this long, what's another 2-15 months depending on location?
It will be location dependant in December from day 1. (but anyone can ask for it/get it)
It will be for everyone in a phased roll out through January.
(I'll try and confirm this soon, but it's what i remember being told)
Actually 13 weeks...
Might want to explain that one?
Is there something we should know?
That sounds a bit more like it. Just a network to build then.
January until all handsets at the earliest get activated.. soo 13 weeks before they have the highest number pal
Luckily (for everyones sanity) there is only one Kevin Bacon..
Oh right..... yeh ok haha. Should have realised that
I thought you meant it'd been delayed or something like that!!!
Thanks for that information I appreciate I don't live in one of the launch areas but spend 2/3 days a week in one so wouldn't mind update.
Do you know when Edinburgh is due to be switched on?
