Britain mulls 'complete shutdown' of 4G net for emergency services

Re: Why only 4G??

So, one asks, why not put 4G at 900MHz, get better propagation as a big part of solving that coverage problem? Ah, well, you see the 900MHz bands were given to Cellnet (O2) and Racal (Vodafone) in perpetuity for free on the condition that they run a 2G service in those bands.

I'm on the Three network and every so often my phone switches to their 900MHz spectrum, connection remaining in 4G for their VoLTE.
