I don't see much past 2G use in your country at the moment
Here in central NC I am getting around 5 Mbps download and around 1 Mbps upload. This is just from my home, I haven't taken the phone anywhere else yet. I hope to get a couple of test from other areas around my town today.

Unfortunately no, its a hardware issue. Unless the radio could be modified. The only current band that is disabled but can be opened is band 12, but that is not going to help in your country. Sorry

The Indian LTE is on band 40 across providers. LTE band 3 is also auctioned by government nut service yet to be started on that. Its a hardware radio issue and not something that will get corrected with software OTA.
Its limited to 3g use. I too have the US amazon version and its not possible to use it on 4G.

1.) the LTE Frequencies vary from country to country...
From HTC:
EU: 800/1800/2600 MHz
US (AT&T): 700/850/AWS/1900 MHz
US (TMO): 700/AWS MHz
US (Sprint): 1900 MHz
Asia: 1800/2600 Mhz

Now comes the great news.. as far as I know Rogers uses 2600 MHz . so EU Version from the UK WILL work!
99% confident
EDIT:
Maybe this Thread can be moved to Q/A
Rogers should have the phone next Friday....given that is when the pre-order offer ends
the one that available now, only has one band that matches rogers LTE band :2600
as far as i know and read from XperiaZ forum, (c6603 XperiaZ has almost same LTE band as ONE)
no one are able to get LTE.
if you need LTE. get it from your provider.

Alright so I guess I'll hold off. What band I'd missing exactly
So not 100%sure the uk version will work on rogers LTE??
how many version of htc one is there
i checked the htc uk n canada site
all the specs are the same
so ibm kind of confused

Phone - HTC One unlocked developer edition 64GB
SIM - T-mobile Unlimited Data package
I had a Google Nexus S and never had problems with data connectivity in Manhattan, NYC. But with the HTC One, the network keeps switching between 3G, EDGE and HSPA. The result - very embarrassing data connectivity - browsing, news feed sync, podcasts, and such.
Has anyone else experienced this issue ? Is there a workaround ?

Well surprise surprise...please get a TMobile version which has the AWS 1700 band for 3G/HSPA+ ... the developer edition doesn't have that band and you are got get bad reception/speed. If you are in 1900 refarmed market it will be ok but still that is not covering enough market.
People are trying flashing TMo radio to get the AWS 1700 band but i think it still doesn't work.
Developer edition is the same as the international edition. If the signal is week, it will fall back to the other speeds 3g. So yeah like kirdroid said get the tmo version for better compatibility

Been going back and forth between the Dev version and the Tmo one, looking like I'll stick with Tmo then.
However, think there's any chance flashing a new radio will eventually be ironed out?

Yes it has the LTE AWS bands but not the AWS 1700 HSPA+ bands to get the TMobile fast HSPA downloads, both are different.There is no misinformation ... lots of people get confused with the LTE bands. Below are the specs...the missing band is in the HSPA/WCDMA section, if it had the AWS 1700 band here then it was perfect.

Yeah, stick with the T-mo version, but maybe you would want to check when T-mo rolls out LTE in your region. Definitely the storage 64GB is important as the HTC One does not have a SD slot.

No, the developer edition works for all US LTE bands. It doesn't work on T-Mobile's HSPA+, since that runs on mostly 1700 MHz AWS band. The Dev only has 1900. But, if you live in a refarmed area (where they change 1900 MHz towers to support HSPA+) then you'd be okay.

This is what shows for connectivity:
Network compatibility LTE
Maximum download speed Up to 75 Mbps
LTE compatibility AWS, 700 MHz
HSPA/UMTS compatibility 850/1900/1700/1900/2100 MHz
GPRS/EDGE compatibility 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
so i guess does Telus work on was, 700 mhz?
Ah. from another thread:
Bell and Telus share LTE eNodeBs on Band 4, but not on Band 7. In terms of coverage, it should be identical since Band 4 cells are at every site, while Band 7 cells are only co-located on some of the sites. If you are using a Band 4 LTE device, there will be absolutely no difference in coverage between Bell and Telus.

YMMV == Your Mileage May Vary. Basically, give it a try.
Essentially I am on AT&T in Chicago, I would love to buy an International edition this go-a-round. Get the updates faster and not deal with AT&T bloat. However I am curious if any country other than the US will carry a LTE variant of the Note III that will support AT&T LTE out of the box (with the correct APN settings) or am I stuck buying the AT&T version if I want access to their LTE network?
Any insight would be awesome. Thanks...
Im 99% sure the exynos processor would only receive 3g on ATT whereas the qualcom gets the full 4g LTE.

You are correct, the Exynos would get me HSPA only... I am hoping that countries other than the US will carry the Snapdragon 800 and that it would be AT&T compatible for LTE.
I edited the OP to clarify.
If its any help, my International Note 1 gets anywhere from 3Mbit to 13Mbit on HSPA+. I've tested with service from both AT&T (straight talk) and t-mobile now that t-mo has re-farmed the 1900mhz spectrum to hspa in my city.
Not sure how fast LTE is but probably at least twice as fast depending on congestion. The real question now is battery life between LTE version and exynos non LTE version.
And in my opinion, its very much worth having the international version. Big drawback though: NO samsung warranty in the USA. To some that might be an issue.
This has been discussed a lot. The international SD 800 variant, from what I understand, should be able to work on AT&T LTE. I guess we won' t know 100% for sure until someone in NA who uses AT&T orders the international SD800 and can confirm that it does work on AT&T LTE. As as this (and ability to root) is confirmed, I'll be ordering my N3.

What I don't know about GSM smartphones is if its possible to flash different modems and enable different bands/frequencies. They have the same SOC but such a variance in frequencies... to me it sounds like a modem mod, but I'm by no means an expert
Anyone whom knows more want to expand on my comments? It would be appreciated!

I have a pretty good feeling that you cant flash different modems, the modem needs to match the device or else it will brick. But then again I could be wrong.
I was quite delighted to find that there was LTE support for the Tmobile version

I too am looking for purchasing a phone either T Mobile or International and using it on the AT&T network. It will be my first foray into GSM but so far I have found the following about the 3 different US GSM versions of the Note 3.

T Mobile
2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network HSDPA 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network LTE 700 / 1700 / 2100

I have a pretty good feeling that you cant flash different modems, the modem needs to match the device or else it will brick. But then again I could be wrong.

we have been doing that for some times already since Galaxy S2 and Notes and Blazer phones were released.
people have been flashing back and forth HSPA vs LTE radio back and forth without a problem.
The only gotcha is Battery drain rate is horrendous on non-native phones using the other radio
some ROMs managed to optimize this to one degree or another, but it's definitely not the same as using a phone that was originally made for that radio.
But the point is, it's do-able and it works.

Looks like the Tmobile version will support AT&T LTE bands. Correct?

Negative. 700/1900 is what runs on ATT LTE. They just bought the lower band of 700 from Verizon.

Crap you are correct. My fault. It is 700/1700 so the TMobile one will support ATT LTE.

Thats what I thought. Now If I can only find a cheap Tmobile version so I can buy full price I will then have LTE on att and an unlocked bootloader:good:

Considering whats happening with the s4 and their HTC line now and their press releases, I wouldn't have much hope.

^^^ this....... This seems to be the answer because of the locked boot on at&t's ....... So could I walk into a TMO store and tell them I wanna buy one for my prepaid sim.? That's probably what I'll end up doing. Looks like best buy will have the unlocked Octa.......
rooted,recovered,and rebooted from the ol' i777.......
