Recently discovered that I can receive a LTE-A (known as 4G+ in the UK) signal on the EE network in my home, tested with an EE PAYG sim (got 80mbps, but I've no credit to test further).
The big question seems to be, will LTE-Advanced areas ever be upgraded to 'LTE-Advanced Pro'. This would enable lower latency connections (just 2ms) and potentially 3 times the speeds of LTE-A.
There's some info about LTE-Advanced Pro here:

There's been lots of discussion of 5G, but it's use outside of cities seems to be quite limited, due to short range. It seems like it would be possible to get connections with throughputs of several hundred with LTE-A Pro... In many ways, it seems like a better, more flexible technology than 5G, but presumably with similarly high deployment costs.
Does anyone have any information about 'LTE-Advanced Pro' deployments in the UK?
