So today just for fun I used ThreeInTouch and my LG G3 and forced it in the hidden menu to band 20 800Mhz.
I haven't done this for a while and I was AMAZED at the coverage, Three has really progressed and the coverage is there, however unless you are able to force it you're unaware. I was able to drive for 90 minutes along A roads and motorways and get seamless good quality 800Mhz 4G.
So to those that think it's not there, it is.... it's just hiding and preferring 3G. However it could be very useful for indoors when you lose 3G assuming your handset supports it.
This experience has made me want to upgrade to a phone that supports it now, as the LG G3 is my old phone and TBH is a bit dated. I need to lookout for a phone that I like which supports 4G band 20 on Three, if the Pixel did I'd consider it, but it's not even listed on Three's device list yet.
