Below are all of David's postings, with the most recent are at the bottom of the page.I thought it was O2 that started this month and that EE was going already I'm not into this 4G as a user but noted my Tesco have had the dongles for sale for a while now for EE and O2 not on sale yet.

Jamie, it is not only Leeds and London for O2, I happen to know Bradford is the first.

Well O2 started 4G in my area last week and so far not noticed any difference in Freeview of course one does not know if anyone is actually using it.

Will you give warnings please as to what equipment of these system will remain fully useable for say the next 7 to 10 years that we have now.
EG. I'm told to get Freeview fully from next year with extra stations a Freeview HD TV or box will be required.
Also in 2018 I read that additional frequencies will be used to those today Terrestrially and again new TV or box and aerial required.

This is the bit about the more worrying change.

Tim that seems a bit confusing to me in my case I have copper from my home to the exchange. I can go FTTC, the cabinet is a long why away from me thus reduces the distance of copper by over half which still gives reductions.
FTTP what is that please?
I believe there is a term FTTH, fibre to the Home, but is it dream for BT to rip all copper?
I would suggest BT needs fibre cabinets in each street like Virgin have.

Rob the other strange thing is different picture ratios SD to HD.
BBC2 the other day was showing the film "The French Line" on Freesat 102 SD was full screen on 109 HD was 4x3 with black bands on each side. TV set is set to Auto Aspect ratio.
