Death of 3G ??
 

I'm quite happy with my 3G connection, even more so after reading how much I would need to spend a month to equal my useage on a 4G plan
I was thinking of upgrading in feb 2013 to an iPhone 5 (really like my 4s, I do know the 4s won't support 4G)
But as I said It looks like its going to be quite costly on a 4G tarrif
When is 3G likely to be terminated, anyone have any thoughts ?

It won't be switched off during the life time of you contract, Internet on modern phones in the Uk has used the following,

WAP (dial up)
GPRS (2G)
EDGE (2.5G)
3G
4G

All of them still function and are still network supported.

Some areas only support GPRS still anyway and many smart phone users are still primarily using this transfer rate.

I wouldn't pay extra for 4G until the networks have all rolled it out across the majority of there networks, as it stands the early adopters are paying for the infrastructure so let the mugs pay the extra money and wait a couple of years.
As a side O2 never finished there 3G roll out......

They are likely to be on the iphone 40 before they stop 3G so I dont think you need to be too worried about it :lol:

Wont be long then..:D

I think 4g is ridiculously expensive for what it is. The basic contract (£36 I think) allows 3 minutes of video watching-and that's it! That means your paying £36 for about one youtube video:o
