When is O2 4G being turned on?
People were saying May, now Vodafone has gone back to September. O2 were Tweeting making it sound imminent, but here we are, it's August next week and still no date, still no word. People were promised tariffs to allow them to upgrade. Why are they so quiet on the subject?
More to the point have O2 and Vodafone decided to go their separate ways for 4G, they were originally going to be working together, so why the separate rollout plans. Whatever happened to splitting the country up into 2 and having Vodafone manage areas and O2 manage others? |

The cornerstone project is about sharing sites and equipment, they would always have there own infrastructures and will always be rivals and as you may know, O2 will be working with BT on 4G rollout. |

My issue with o2 was that you could have a full 3G signal and not be able to connect to the internet - suggesting capacity issues. |

The new agreement will merge all infrastructure into one new company - Cornerstone Telecommunications Infrastructure - that will also be able to offer indoor 2G and 3G coverage targeting 98% of the UK population by 2015. The companies said the move will see 4G mobile services, which will allow users to download music and film to their phones at the same speeds as home or office computers, delivered up to two years ahead of Ofcom's requirement of 98% coverage by 2017. What puzzles me more than anything is the lack of information and press releases from Cornerstone / Beacon. I'm guessing the whole looking after each part of the country has been canned. I've heard that Cornerstone / Beacon has been hit with delays, which meant Vodafone's launch got pushed back, but how comes there's no word from O2 at all? |

good old o2 looking to repeat its success it had with 3g for its 4g network. i thought it was human nature to learn by your mistakes? obviously not or are we all judging a little too early?
Go on o2 prove us all wrong i think we would all love to be proved wrong. |
