Does 3 provide 4G ?

I thought they didn't until now, however speed tests on my HTC one are showing speeds of 20mb+ it off the scale sometimes!

Am I in some kind of parallel world or am I dreaming or do 3 actually provide 4G now, in certain areas?

Its 3g but a DC-HSPA+ variant. Its very fast but not as fast as 4g especially the upload side.

What do you have to do to get that then? Special contract or does it come automatically in those areas.

You need a DC HSPA+ phone and be in an area that its active. A lot of places.

Phones such as iphone 5. HTC One, Samsung GS4 and other new high end phones. Check phone specs.

Service is free

I'm using a PAYG sim that I've had since I moved to 3 - about 2 years ago now.

No, but will do in Oct. Wether it is available to PAYG is open to debate.
