    If you want to confirm that your update has been completed here are some simple steps to follow:

    1. To check that 4G is setup please go to:
    Settings > General > About > Carrier
    This should read 3 Ireland 16.0

    If you have carrier settings 15.5 or earlier you can manually search for the update by taking the following steps:
    Settings > General > About
    If an update is listed, tap on the update to install this now.

    2. To ensure 4G is enabled please go to:
    Settings > Cellular > Enable 4G
    (This should be on. Cellular Data should also be on)

    I'm the same. It's showing up as 15.6 but I can't seem to get it to update to 16.0

    The FM says:

    "This should read 3 Ireland 16.0"

    That is wrong.

    Considering that many people are accessing 4G on the last update (from Saturday), which was 15.6, I'd assume it's just some sort of typo... though who knows...

    not the FM. ;)

    16.0 is an error, it's 15.6 it updates to. 4G fine here.

    Well I was the same all day until I had to leave the house as soon as I left 4 g signal came up and was getting nice speeds up to 19 Mb download the same as my wifi so pretty impressed. I'm hearing that it does not work well indoors. As soon as I got back home it switched back to 3G

    Three have updated this page to say 15.6

    Briefly had a 4G connection myself today when I checked stopped at traffic lights at Newlands. Hopefully the coverage improves before they start charging for it :D

    Indeed. Sporadic in D8, exceptional 4g speed along canal at Goldenbridge but it vanishes at Blackhorse.
