1359570 2013-11-12 22:14:00 Impressive. Article here (www.nzherald.co.nz).

For those PF1ers with 4G, have you found the same results as in the article?

1359571 2013-11-12 22:32:00 I'm just disappointed that the nearest 4G to home is out in the Pahurehure Inlet. Nothing on land. :( pcuser42 (130)

1359573 2013-11-12 22:43:00 Yeah the speeds are nice, bummer the average data cap for most plans is still ~500MB.

Single YouTube HD music video: 150MB

So you can listen to 3x music videos before you've gotta worry about hitting your cap :P

1359574 2013-11-12 22:48:00 Any idea what 2degrees might do in 4G?

I need a micro SIM off Voda into my LG LTE anyhow too much hassle, Voda is my serious phone. 2D my fun one. But there's not too much difference between their prepay deals anyway. But yeah - the data caps, :lol:

1359575 2013-11-12 23:03:00 Anyway this data issue. If one enables data on the phone how can you control what data uses? I mean weather updates will happen, same for email, SMS / contacts sync to cloud, FB and other app updates. How easy is it to enable data but at the same time disable all activity unless you give it persmission to each app level? Nomad (952)

1359577 2013-11-12 23:32:00 Got a txt from telescum yesterday saying the 500 mb that comes with my prepaid plan will be kaputt on 25/11. Not that I use it anyway. The smartphones, I just use the wireless if I have to update anything Speedy Gonzales (78)
1359578 2013-11-13 00:14:00 What phond you got chill

Mrs broke her N4 (She treats it like dirt) so we bought her a HTC One. Turns out she doesn't like the power button location and wants to use her nice shiny blue N4 case, so she's got my precious limited edition White N4 now and I've got her HTC One :p
Put Google Play Edition firmware on it too now, should tide me over until my N5 arrives in the country....

How's the GS4 working out? Does the NZ one support 4G?

1359579 2013-11-13 00:33:00 Could be a while before 4G comes to Invercargill but I just checked the compatibility of my GT-18190T. After entering the IEME number it came back as
Not good news, sorry. Your mobile won't run on our network. :crying
