johnr: Done yesterday afternoon in the Viaduct having lunch on my S3 i9305 4G
johnr:DarkShadow: What frequencies is VF using?
1800Mhz
freitasm: You have to pay an extra $10 to use 4G. Not available on prepay.
JayTaicho: Darn, was wondering why I wasn't seeing a 4G icon in my status bar! I'm on the $19 prepay plan!
Off to Vodafone to get on a plan now... You win this round, Vodafone.

Interesting.
Ggiven that if you don't pay the $10 you still get DC speeds which as we have seen are pretty damn fast, and certianly fast enough to do almost anything you could possibly want to do with a data plan smaller than 5GB (and in most cases smaller than 2GB), why would anyone pay for 4G?

Why?
What people using 3G HSPA DC expect will be doing with 4G?

see my other post.
What could you possibly be doing with your 500MB plan on 4G that isn't just as good on Dual Carrier, or even just normal HSDPA?

it's kind of like asking why would people pay for vdsl when they can get adsl2 much cheaper. if you don't want to / don't need it, then don't pay for it :) but just like if you can get vdsl you're more likely to get fast adsl2 the same thing applies. if you're in 4g area you're likely to get faster 3g speeds because newer gear / decent backhaul etc are needed.
