Are 3 using 1800Mhz exclusively?

I have a vested interest in this as I have an iPhone 5 which only has 1800Mhz 4G capabilities. I have 4G now, but curious will 1800Mhz be their main 4G frequency? They also have 900Mhz spectrum purchased. What decides which frequency to use?

They have one 2x5MHz block at 900MHz and nothing at 800MHz but all this could change in the coming months depending on what the EU Commission's competition directorate decision on its merger with O2 will be.

O2 has 2x10MHz at 800MHz and 2x10MHz at 900MHz.

Maybe they're awaiting the EU decision before using the lower frequencies?
