There definitely is improved coverage in and around Lincoln now- both on 3G and 4G. There is coverage also in Cranwell which isn't on the map currently.
It's still loads easier now though, it won't just be copy paste compile but it might be worth putting in the hours now. It's the best Microsoft can manage TBF.
I think your being a bit optimistic expecting speeds above 5mb from three 4g in cities, they simply don't have the amount of sites active yet, it's still better then most 3g city location in three though, I find them mostly badly congested now.
my one plan ended last night, however theres still no limit on data I use.. when will this switch over? I'm still tethered
If you haven't yet changed your plan / tariff then keep quiet and wait for THEM to make contact with YOU you will carry on with the One Plan and continue to get unlimited tethering on the legacy plan until the point where they contact you (via text, call or letter) to let you know that you need to move, and give you the options available - but this might be days, weeks or years away, so enjoy / keep the old plan rolling along for as long as it lasts.
There are several people on here whose One Plan minimum contract ended months or years ago, and they still haven't been contacted by Three, so it may not be immediate.

I got the letter saying they was moving me off. I spoke too soon, I used all my 1g data, so now I'm using 100GB EE promotion

How much data do you use on average via tethering?, if its more than 4GB then there is nothing currently available from Three which will suit and you may need to look at moving networks, if you use under 4GB but more than 1GB then upgrading to Three's Unlimited (handset) Data with either 2GB or 4GB tethering allowance would possibly be better?.
This advice assumes that you haven't signed a long contract for the tariff you have chosen currently?.

No I have cancelled the three contract now, I forgot to give them 30 days notice, so I just burnt off that data and won't use it again.

mine ended on 20th August 2014 and they have yet to contact me so as you say, people should just keep quiet until they contact you...
im happy with 3 especially since my area has been getting a lot of 4g attention lately don't tether much, but I have my backup phone on BT Mobile with 20GB data, used it to tether about 8GB of data in the last 2 days without any issues.
When and if they do ever stop my One Plan I wont leave but what I will do is try to get a deal with them since I've been with them for about 10 years now, maybe a little longer than that.
4G coverage is still pretty piss poor in Newcastle, plus the speeds are less than 5mbps.
Even 3G coverage in West Jesmond is awful, rarely get anything around the Metro Station.
Got the feeling it is slowly getting better now though outside Newcastle. Used to get 0 to 1 bar at home and now it's 2 bars and at work I recently got 4G (full signal) . Bit odd, I do get 3G in West Jesmond (I go to the coffee chain near the station quite often).

I live in NW London too but you must be a lucky one to get a good 4G coverage where if you by apex coner you just get 1/2bar.
The nearst mast to me is on Farm road near Hale lane what they recently upgraded but only 3G, They have put a temporary phone mast on trafalgar house due some building work but only picking up 3G at -48, when going past colindale police station they working on mast near RAF.
4G is good in, asda colindale picking up 27Mb, soooo slow in lidl at 6mb near station road and broadfields ave but cant pickup that mast at home, Fastest 4g is st albans 46mb
They need to enable the EE mast near Natwest for Three users to connect to 4G! then finally 4G comes to Edgware.
I mapped out EE & Three 4G if this any help Zee_Bukhari

One or two bars of 3G max in WJ, usually indoors it's No Service - though you're right Starbucks is alright.

The problem being near lidl is that its the only mast in about 2 miles which is disgusting. The next closest mast is on farm road which was upgraded (looks nasty now) which should go 4G sometime soon.
They were planning a mast near the royal mail office behind fitness first a long with the old Orange mast next to NatWest "Within 3 months" just need more people to complain to help speed things up.
It isn't acceptable to have no signal in the streets on a busy high street in London
The mast recently upgraded to Three 4G is the one close to Highview avenue by the A41 giving speeds of above 70Mbps at times.
Back in November 2014 I noticed EE had rolled out 4G to a town in Ayrshire called Kilmarnock. There were a few Ayrshire towns on Three's 2014 Wishlist shortly before it turned into a pumpkin. I had speculated that Three may be about to bring 4G to Kilmarnock, but that never happened and all Ayrshire towns were removed from the 2015 Wishlist. Tonight I was in Kilmarnock and low and behold Thee had 4G
When and if they do ever stop my One Plan I wont leave but what I will do is try to get a deal with them since I've been with them for about 10 years now, maybe a little longer than that.
You'll be disappointed. Three's stance is "take a current plan at regular price or leave". No loyalty deals. Take it or leave it. They don't take tenure into account anymore.

That's the same story for hundreds of towns on the 2014 work of fiction list, apart from the actually getting it bit!

Whilst this is 100% correct.
There is still some wiggle room if you know how to play the system.
The 3 coverage map got updated and is surprisingly accurate as regarding 4G in my area. No indoor coverage for me but outside is OK. Sigh, awaiting the 800MHz DD switch on.

Google Play Services won't work though.

It's hard to know what will happen first:
Them "Making it Better"
or
My death!
Depending on your new plan you can still tether up to 4GB a month.
If you haven't yet changed your plan / tariff then keep quiet and wait for THEM to make contact with YOU

people are misunderstanding it.
It wont be android apps like blackberry id.
These will be properly native Windows apps.
