If you're currently on any ROM that isn't BTU you won't be able to upgrade directly, you'll need to flash BTU via ODIN and you will lose data, as you'll need a factory reset to change the CSC to BTU.
If you're on BTU marshmallow, the upgrade to nougat BTU wont lose any data.

Only the sites that are cabled up for L08 will broadcast it. Quite a lot of sites will still be L18 until L08 is cabled up.
Expect some minor network disruption starting now, until the middle of next week in many areas. |

Lord Lucan I presume that you mean remote software upgrades rather than actual engineers visiting sites to do upgrades

In my area, there are 9 EE 800MHz masts, about 40 1800MHz and 11 2600MHz. The 800MHz masts are all very high up, mostly on the top of tower blocks.
I have done a video on EE 800MHz switch on, including how you can work out it's imminent based on the locked down nature og the 800. |

Well I have just flashed my S7 Dual Sim to Android 7.0 Nougat, and WOW is all I can say what a complete refresh! Working very good so far! I have VoLTE working now on EE and the 2nd sim can now be enabled for 2G&3G voice calls!!

I'm still waiting on my local orange 6 sector mast being upgraded ! 3G was switched off from the mast a few years ago so only broadcasts 2g. There is a t mobile mast beside it broadcasting 2g and 3G. It's a weird set up and nothing seems to be getting upgraded.

Outside of London only around 1 in 4 sites are 800 capable at the moment.

Still seem to be able to connect my LG G4c with three VoLTE software to some EE 800mhz masts, only by manually forcing band 20, it kicks up a bit of a fuss though with a data restricted message.. It must be a rogue 1 or 2 masts though otherwise EE have a lot of work to do around here as coverage is so weak its no good to anyone..

Not this early I wouldn't have thought, the coverage checker is doing weird things though
