Not surprising, Orange and T-Mobile's *2G* service has always been appalling here. 3G is non-existent.

Still, we have pretty much 100% fibre broadband availability, so it's not all bad this side of the North Channel.

Sorry, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Edinburgh, Glasgow & Belfast due before Christmas though so not too long a wait.

Wait, what?

There's only 3 months of the year left - that's so soon as to barely be worth diferentiating.

If the SNP gets its way Scotland wont be part of the UK so that will help EE get coverage of the UK quicker!

What Scottish company will come in to run 2G, 3G, or 4GEE services?

They're not really making a big deal of the difference, the 4 Mark listed have been "switched on" today. But EE are advertising the following as the first cities for 4g this year, with 98% coverage expected for the end of 2014.

Belfast
Birmingham
Bristol
Cardiff
Derby
Edinburgh
Glasgow
Hull
Leeds
Liverpool
London
Manchester
Nottingham
Newcastle
Sheffield
Southampton

I'm not keen on EE as a name and brand. Doesn't exactly roll off the tongue.

Shall be waiting for 3 to offer 4g :)

Isn't EE a partnership between Orange and T-Mobile or sumfink?

Yes, that's the brand the joint Orange/T-Mobile network are using. Orange and T-Mobile will continue to operate as separate networks.

It rolls off mine too easily, and makes me lapse into a Yorkshire accent.
