In a press release today Three UK promised to provide LTE service at no extra price to their subscribers, unlike EE, which added a premium to their LTE plans.

"Our customers choose Three because they love the internet and know they can get great speeds and great value on our award-winning network," said Three UK chief executive Dave Dyson.

They also promised to roll out 42 Mbs Dual Channel HSDPA +, saying it already covered 55% of their subscribers, and will hit 80% by March.

"As we add the next wave of technology to our Ultrafast network, we’ve listened to our customers and thought long and hard about the right way to do it. We don’t want to limit Ultrafast services to a select few based on a premium price and we’ve decided our customers will get this service as standard. With Three, it’s simple, great value and Ultrafast. What you might expect from the network that was built for the internet."

The company has just launched the  Nokia Lumia 920 on their network. The press release confirmed the Nokia Lumia 920 was DC-HSDPA compatible, though it did not confirm LTE support specifically.
