    I am in the UK currently owning the. Stl100-2 with 10.1 and I am wondering two things. Why do I mostly not have 3g on o2 UK mainly it just says H or G why doesn't 3g work all the time? Also when o2 finally gets 4g does my phone instantly get 4g as it's 4g ready

    I believe that I've seen on some carriers that the H is for HSPA, which is your 3G. I've seen that on screenshots in the past, but perhaps a member with experience on that network can amplify the information. And switching to 4G is automatic, yes, when it is available.

    BK is correct above. All UK networks now support HSPA, hence the H showing instead of the old 3G.

    As for 4G when it's finally rolled out in the UK, your phone will instantly get it... however you may be charged extra for it, and you will need a new SIM card.

    H is faster than 3G.

    HSPA = H or 3G
    HSPA+ = H+ or 4G
    LTE = 4GLTE

    Unfortunately these days carriers have messed this all up. While waiting for the LTE rollout to start happening companies launched HSPA+ and those that had it labeled it as 3.5G, however when CDMA companies finally moved onto GSM they labeled the HSPA+ tech as 4G because they needed to seem relevant. This forced the hand of other carriers to start labeling this service as 4G. True 4G is LTE and true LTE is actually a service more in line with WiMax

    My H is very very slow. Whenever it's on H my Internet very slow sometimes pops up H sometimes 3G when it's on 3G it's much faster
