I think that's the case, yep. Bloody annoying isn't it!? Buy an S3 thinking it's an S3 because it's called an S3 and looks like an S3, but turns out there's another S3 which looks like and S3 and is called S3 which does other things.

im in the u.k so its probably the international one. by the signal bar meter it has H+ with 2 direction arrows under it, is that anything to do with it?
It is important to note that there are many versions of the S3 and any question asked without identifying which model / country / carrier cannot expect reliable answers. Whats true for one may not be true for another.

Unfortunately, that's correct. If you are in the U.K., your phone doesn't have the LTE radio hardware for true 4G data. As UK carriers introduce LTE rollout you will have to get a new phone to experience the increased data speeds.

Just think of all those folks in the UK that have got the latest Iphone that will only work with T.Mobiles 4g network (an upgraded model will be needed for the other networks). According to the Which review that will be capped and that people would get the same speeds with 3's 3g network. Also remember that 4g is a battery hog.
I've got an S3 that is supposed to be a real S3 and is a real S3 but does not have the S3 4G LTE service yet because my service provider representative fail to tell me that my S3 4G service was not available yet in my area like other areas that already have 4G service for the other people that have an S3.
The T-Mobile/ Orange alliance (which is now called Everything Everywhere) will be launching their LTE service towards the end of this month.
The auction for other networks to buy space will be held next year, with services launching in May/ June time.
Im assuming all these LTE services will come with an increased contract cost also. Personally Im happy to use HSPA as most of the time Im within wifi range.
If you're on Three, I wouldn't be too upset about not having LTE as their HSPA+ is pretty damn fast. I sometimes get about 12 Mbps which is quick enough for me
