O2 Set to Launch LTE this Month in London

Telefónica's O2 outlined plans to launch 4G in London, Leeds and Bradford later this month. The network will be extended to 10 more cities across the UK by end of year.


O2 is launching a range of tariffs starting at £26 a month, along with a 30 day "Happiness Guarantee" for customers who sign up direct from O2.

Some other notes:

  • Data usage on O2's 3G network has more than doubled in the past 12 months.
  • O2 has invested £550m for 800Mhz spectrum, which was released to O2 at the end of May and was fully cleared by Ofcom this week.
  • O2's network includes some 9,000 free Wi-Fi hotspots.
