I got a regular 20-30mb down given such a sense place NYC I was impressed. |

Even after uninstalling the app it continues to connect to 800.
It's not until I provision the current play store app that it stops connecting. |

I have put another Three SIM in my G3 to see if that might work, and it authenticates but the 4G calling option is now missing in the settings screen!

How much 1800mhz have Three actually got?
![]() From my rookie perspective the cell density (for 1800 at least) seems to be pretty low which probably explains the terrible speeds. All the tourist areas had 1800 but the speeds were pretty awful. EDIT: Do you mean spectrum wise? 15MHz if that's what you're asking. |

Thankfully i could force my G4 to connect to 800MHz, i got speeds of ~10Mbps on that. I kept it on that the whole time, i'd actually forgotten i'd turned it on until i got back to my cousins house. 800 coverage was pretty good though considering i didn't notice for around 4 hours whilst i wondered around London.

I used My Vodafone sim over in the states with World Traveller £5 per day, cost me £40 for the week, I had excellent 4G coverage in both NYC and DC on AT&T,
Very impressive coverage. I got a regular 20-30mb down given such a sense place NYC I was impressed. (Sorry, back on topic now!) |

The performance problems there would not put me off from continuing to use Three. I barley go there and even then, I'm not usually using my phone when I go shopping for clothes etc. I have a feeling that there is a problem other than congestion at that mast as EE was only 20Mbps at the same place. I only had a Cat 4 phone as my LG G4 phone has the bootloop problem and am yet to receive it after 12 working days. |

Wow. I really messed up with my spelling on that last post. Why can I not edit and correct the mistakes?

Z2. When I installed the Beta apk it was there.
Ridiculous if they are not supporting my phone as I know it works. |

Just got this text from Three:
From Three: Hi, look out for an updated & improved Three InTouch app in your app store. You'll need to reactivate this version while in 3G or 4G coverage. OptOut@My3 |

So is the 5.1.8 Play version the same as the one shared here earlier? According to LTE Discovery, there's 5 LTE signals and four W-CDMA signals present here. Anyone with a Moto G 4G got 4G voice? Did the activation and it all went through OK.

No 4G option now though, and I've just dug out my Z3, so it doesn't work on that, my G3 or the Honor 5X.
I assume accounts need to be provisioned too? And the date on the Play Store is March 16th but it obviously wasn't on there until today. |

I used to have the 4G calling option until I installed the Play Store version. When I realised this, I immediately uninstalled the app. I then reinstalled the "beta" which also no longer had the 4G calling option. I also now have no signal in my house which is great. Thanks Three ! /s
I'm still waiting for my LG G4 from repair which I assume will no longer have VoLTE and no service menu after they replace the motherboard and flash marshmallow. |

I think I'll buy a separate AT&T sim for myself so I get nice unthrottled 4G out there. (Even though I have free roaming on my account, it's rubbish, as you say.) Ridiculous that I get it free but still have to pay someone else to get a proper roaming service. I'd pay Three to unthrottle me if I could, rather than pay AT&T.
