P.S. sorry at work so cannot link to page.

I aim to misbehave.

Is it true that all their towers are 4G ready, just needs a Software Upgrade or License upgrade to activate it?

Would depend on the age of the tower and what hardware is in it

Their network was built with 4G capability in mind. Wouldn't surprise me.

The early hardware that was deployed was GSM / WCDMA no LTE maybe the Core soft switch but not the RAN

quite a bit different from the usual 2Degrees marketing stuff.

I assume Rhys Derby is going to be under that hood?

joker97: or related to the passing of CEO?

pretty unlikely they would do a big marketing campaign to anounce a new CEO.

2degrees will be moving to 4G – although we will not be revealing details or timing of our plans at this stage.

Think of it this way, 4G / LTE is turned on so then this takes load off the 3G / WCDMA network and improves over all performance for 3G users that don't have 4G devices

If you are downloading websites 0.5s faster you won't be using your data 10 x faster. (unless it previously took 0.5555555(etc) seconds to download each webpage and you are constantly clicking through webpages as soon as one loads one after the other without reading any of the contant.. ......which isn't very likely)
