Good news but EE coverage is terrible. Before I signed up (it was T-mobile then) everything looked good on the coverage map, yet the coverage in my area is really spotty. This would have kept me a customer but then I checked their coverage on a place I'm moving to soon (a medium sized town) and neither t-mobile or orange has any coverage at all. O2 and the other major UK carriers to need to start moving on 4G. New phones are all starting to ship with it and none of the carriers are supporting it. It'll be another 2 years before it's rolled out widely.

I'm sure they'd love to get 4G launched but they're all being held up by the fact that OFCOM haven't had the spectrum auction yet
