Reports say telecommunications rivals O2 and Vodafone plan to launch their high-speed 4G services on the same day, August 29, following EE’s 4G launch of its own last October.

The rivals are head-to-head in the competition, as O2 promised speeds 5 times faster than on 3G, while Vodafone promises speeds of up to 6 times faster than 3G.
