OnePlus One.

UK
3 (Partial LTE)
EE Full LTE
O2 (No LTE)
UK Broadband (uses Bands 42 and 43 only)
Vodafone (No LTE)

EE or Three seems best way to go. shame EE are pretty expensive.
 
Yeah me too.. And Three have got the free 4g upgrade and started to allow usage abroad.

Exactly. Three will just grow and grow if they can maintain reasonable bandwidth!

Might stick mine on a couple of selling sites and try my luck
Keep it if doesn't sell for enough

I can't resist giving it a whirl. Seems a few complaints about a yellow band issue at the bottom of the screens, not sure this will annoy but I'll have to wait and see. The reason I want this is battery life, price and specs and CyanogenMod. Just hope the 3 LTE is decent and size of the phone isn't unusable . It's had Excellent reviews from the media and users mind.
 
I've ordered the OneplusOne 64GB white from Aliexpress. All going well it should be with me early next week.

I'm on Three so the LTE bands won't be an issue for me.

Be careful there are a huge amount of couterfeit phones around especially this one.. lots of mentions on the oneplus forums. Best to wait for an invite
 
Unfortunately most mobile companies have recognised that competition on other aspects of packages have are resulting in limited revenue prospects. They want to make this up with data and specifically 4G - people won't be making more phone calls or sending more messages than they already do or indeed sending photo messages or video calls (what a flop they were). But they will be using masses of more data which will vary month by month massively - even a 5Gb allowance may not be enough soon depending on how you use your phone i.e. bbc iplayer just as one example. One month you could need to pay £100s more in metered usage costs if you watch 10 or so HD movies for example.

Of all the companies three is by the far the most competitive in the 4G at the moment. Alternatively if you can manage them lycamobile have unlimited 4G for £15 - it isn't actually unlimited though as it relates back to a 10Gb allowance from their supplier after which speeds drop dramatically.

If you can settle for 3G there are other options like giffgaff, it looks like this is truly unlimited speeds don't drop but they might get a bit excited if you are using +50Gb per month consistently (check their forums).

Basically, three is the best in this regard and is a proper phone company best to use them if you can and have coverage.
 
How? 3G is fast enough for the most part LTE is still rolling out and it still has 1800mhz band.

you will have big gaps in coverage potentially
not an issue if you get 4g where you need it but if you live in a place it is coming to or travel around i will make a difference

Patchy 4G and 3G everywhere is plenty for me, the device looks epic value for money but the problem has always been the invite System which we are fortunate enough to have got.

Thanks for the tip but I've done my research and bought from a seller who has had great positive feedback and lots of people over at XDA have bought from him and haven't had any complaints so it should be fine.
