You do realise that "4G voice" actually falls back to 3G don't you (there is no ratified standard for VoLTE (voice over LTE aka 4G)...Nishy said:4g is quality I have the htc m8 and functions like 'Ok google' work flawlessly and put siri to shame. Love the fact that calls also now don't get cut off. I have 5gb of data free which is more than enough seeming I use wifi when at home.
I actually had no idea that was the case.hunnymonster said:You do realise that "4G voice" actually falls back to 3G don't you (there is no ratified standard for VoLTE (voice over LTE aka 4G)...Nishy said:4g is quality I have the htc m8 and functions like 'Ok google' work flawlessly and put siri to shame.

Nishy said:In this respect I suspect 4g would be quicker but as you mentioned its 3g parameters I'm guessing it's the same speed regardless.
So how can they boast the fact that you will never be disconnected from a call when on 4G if it actually just reverts to the 3G connection when a call is made?hunnymonster said:Nishy said:In this respect I suspect 4g would be quicker but as you mentioned its 3g parameters I'm guessing it's the same speed regardless.
It's quicker for data but when a call is in progress - it's on the 3G (or even 2G) network so the data rate falls accordingly - otherwise what would be the point of the sparkly new 4G network (if the 3G one is just as fast).
Myself - I've never felt constrained by the data bandwidth available via 3G - but then I'm not on "NO2" (who have crappy 2G coverage here, no 3G at all - and even in the next town where they have O2's 3G, when I tested it - it was eyewateringly poor - postcard would be a quicker communication method)

Incidentally I'm still paying a midges whizzer over £5/mo and have AYCE data on 2G/3G/4G (expect there aren't too many 4G cells around here)
