3G has been recently switched off in the most (or all by now?) part of Hungary. I have thought that the bands get reused for 4G, but no change so far. Probably the remaining 2G occupies the same bands or whatever. Or they have gone with 5G, while all the providers banish prepaid users from using 5G, so thanks for nothing. Anyway, the biggest downside is that where the 4G coverage sucks, I'm seeing the nightmarish EDGE on my phone instead of HSDPA+. And it happens way too many times... Sometimes it happens while just passing a corner in the streets, and sometimes it takes too much time for the phone to recover to 4G+.

Yeah here in Spain too, still can't get 5G on prepay. It's not like it's new anymore.. Pretty annoying. I really don't want a contract.

  simyo supposedly will have prepaid 5G by the end of this month.

    Ah ok, thanks! Not really a fan of MVNOs though. But I guess Orange won't be far behind then.

Ah, so this is what happened! I visit the villages next to the border near Bratislava often. I used to have no connectivity issues there, but now I get 2G first (which is almost unusable) and if I'm lucky I eventually connect to 4G.
