Even in places where I'm usually getting 5 bars 4G, it's preferring 5 bars of 3G instead :/
Hope it gets fixed soon!!!
Hey from the States. We are having similar issues on Verizon's network. There's threads about Verizon losing service. Most of us are experiencing the exact same problem. So far Verizon has not escalated this to Apple that we know of. Hoping all of this is linked and Apple pushes a fix soon.
I doubt it will last. I did the same yesterday and got 4g all day but today it flipped back to 3g.
Been having the same issue called 3 who claimed to know of no issue strange as the forums are full of owners with the same problem advised me to reset the phone and restore which I did I also took the phone off automatic in carrier settings selected another available network then re-selected 3 and switched back to automatic had 4G since 7pm tonight.
Unless you see or read an official statement I wouldn't believe anything.
Let's face it; apart from the ones complaining to the carrier who else has written an article to bring it to the attention of the media and ultimately the carrier.
Can you link me, I've just trawled back through ThreeUKSupport and can not find anything on this.
I'm at work at the minute in Birmingham Solihull uk and the three network on my new £720 iPhone 7 is laughable ..I want compensation and I want compensation now..I need a legal representative pm me..
Three I want my money back

Just adding another voice to the crowd. I've tweeted Three support, and am currently running on "Manual" rather than "Automatic" carrier selection, which seems to keep 4G engaged. iPhone 7+ here...
I'm another with the exact same problem. My partner got a new iPhone 7 on the same day and the same shop as me and it works fine. We tried swapping the sims between phones, my sim in his phone 4g instantly, his sim in my phone 3G! So it's definitely not a sim issue!
The manual network selection seems to work some of the time but not all and it takes ages to swap even if it does. Not happy, and once again we are both with three uk

I very much doubt it's directly a hardware issue.
Most probably it's the new Intel chip that has not been coded correctly.
The Qualcomm chip was well run in. All problems had been ironed out.
Here you have a new chip that is going to bring error after error for the time being.
Can be fixed by firmware update them or not? I would expect all iphone 7s to have the problem in three then
Firmware fix ~ Yes.
All iPhone 7's ~ Maybe not. Could be something specific that is causing the issue to only a certain amount of users and this is what hopefully the fix will address.
